The story of Rose's joyous growth from tortured wife (her persecution gruesomely but realistically portrayed) to independent woman alternates with the terrifying details of her husband's deliberate pursuit to create unflagging tension. Crowded with character and incident, the novel builds to a nearly apocalyptic conclusion that combines the best of King's long novels-the breadth of vision of The Stand, for example-with the focused plot and careful psychological portraiture of Dolores Claiborne. At the center of the action is heroine Rose McClendon, a battered wife who starts life anew by leaving her police officer husband, a consummately cruel man depicted by King as a paragon of evil. Relentlessly paced and brilliantly orchestrated, this cat-and-mouse game of a novel is one of King's most engrossing and topical horror stories.
