The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold


I've just finished reading this book. This is a dark tale that begins with the narrator of the story, Helen Knightly, killing her mother. There are many deaths in this book --- her mother's murder, her father's suicide, and a neighbour's child who was the victim of a hit and run incident which happened in front of the Knightly's home. In addition to the deaths, it seems like Helen and her parents were suffering from mental illnesses.
