Dolores Claiborne is suspected of killing Vera Donovan, her wealthy employer, and when the police question her, she tells the story of her life, harkening back to her disintegrating marriage and the suspicious death of her violent husband thirty years earlier. Dolores also tells of Vera’s physical and mental decline and how she became emotionally demanding in recent years.

Given a voice as compelling as any in contemporary fiction, the strange intimacy between Dolores and Vera—and the link that binds them—unfolds in Dolores’s account. It shows, finally, how fierce love can be, and how dreadful its consequences. And how the soul, harrowed by the hardest life, can achieve a kind of grace.

Stephen King, como em Rose Madder, cria uma história centrada na violência doméstica na qual a mulher cansada de apanhar em silêncio resolve fazer algo e deixar a inércia. Eclipse total é um livro curto, indicado para todos que querem se emocionar com uma história de uma mulher que viveu um inferno e o superou, apesar de tudo.
