Query: Couldn't help myself....

Having read "I Know This Much is True," and finding it rather long-winded, I picked this up in the hope that this would redeem Lamb for me as an author. It did. I couldn't put it down. It's one of the most tragic novels I've read, but I also found it strangely inspiring. Lamb creates a terrific tragic character in young Dolores, and I fell for it. Dolores commanded my pity, but also my occasional laughter. I've been looking for this book for a long time.
