King's characters are her most fully realized yet in this her best novel. They are memorable because they are so real, so next door. King's command of language, character, plot, and place has never been as strong. Readers who have enjoyed her previous novels will find this one more compelling, more of a page-turner than in previous efforts.
Her next novel is a return to the one she dropped for Queen of Broken Hearts, an examination of the disappearance of the family farm in the South. Having been raised on a family farm in Alabama, this is a subject dear to her heart.
