She's Come Undone: From the bestselling author of The River Is Waiting de Wally Lamb

She's Come Undone: From the bestselling author of The River Is Waiting

Autor Wally Lamb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 dec 1999
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A RIVER IS WAITING and celebrated for two Oprah Book Club selections, comes this powerful coming-of-age novel.
Meet Dolores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the chocolate, crisps and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. 
When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up. 

In his extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch an incredible ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. At once a fragile girl and a hard-edged cynic, so tough to love yet so inimitably loveable, Dolores is as poignantly real as our own imperfections.

Recenzii

PRAISE FOR WALLY LAMB:

'I was awestruck by this brilliant novel! I know that “authenticity” isn’t the sexiest takeaway, but on my honor, page after riveting page, I asked myself, “How did he know this? How is this so moving, so real, so close to the bone?” Bravo, Wally Lamb. Not that you needed another masterpiece to demonstrate your unerring eye, ear, and signature heart, but may I say The River is Waiting might crown them all.” ELINOR LIPMAN, author of Every Tom, Dick & Harry and Ms. Demeanor

"An epic tale…[Wally Lamb's] incandescent writing can illuminate even the darkest of stories." OPRAH DAILY 

'A heartwrenching, moving tale about the power of forgiveness, resilience and growth.' WOMAN'S WORLD "12 Most Anticipated Books of 2025"

'Time and time again, the amazing Wally Lamb’s imperfect people break our hearts and help us understand the unfathomable depths of guilt and grief as we look for light in the world.' ALICE HOFFMAN, New York Times bestselling author of The Practical Magic series

'Wally Lamb has always written with compassion for all of his characters, no matter their flaws. But here, in this moving exploration of an otherwise good man and loving father who happens to be an addict, Lamb goes deeply into what it means not only to survive tragedy, but to actually heal from it by stepping tentatively into real forgiveness. I could not put down The River is Waiting, and I predict that you won't be able to either.' ANDRE DUBUS III, New York Times bestselling author of House of Sand and Fog and Ghost Dogs

'As usual, Wally Lamb gripped me with his perceptive, page-turning novel, The River Is Waiting, a story that illuminates how the traumas of mass incarceration and addiction stigma spare no one. Lamb delivers what’s most needed in these turbulent times—an absolute empathy bomb.' BETH MACY, author of Dopesick and Raising Lazarus

'Lamb sheds light on the inhumanity and cruelty of the American prison system, while also offering glimmers of hope and friendship… There are no simple resolutions in this gripping drama, and Lamb offers plenty to ponder about guilt, innocence, rehabilitation, and forgiveness.' BOOKLIST 

'[A] heart-wrenching story of redemption… Lamb lays bare the vagaries of his protagonist’s life in accessible prose and concludes on a bittersweet note. This will please the author’s fans.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 

'The River is Waiting is an ambitious, affecting novel that’s not afraid to look directly at human suffering, and to map out the pain we inflict on others, and on ourselves. With an unflinching eye and an unsentimental compassion for his characters, Wally Lamb finds glimmers of hope and healing and decency in the darkest places.' TOM PERROTTA, New York Times bestselling author of The Leftovers and Little Children

'Riveting… Lamb expertly shows [Corby’s] arduous, bumpy progression… a gripping […] story of grief, guilt, and healing.' KIRKUS
