BIG FALL FICTION
The Almost Moon
By Alice Sebold (Little, Brown, $24.99)
What it's about:
A divorced woman kills her elderly mother, who has dementia.
Why it's big:
It's been five years since Sebold's last novel, The Lovely Bones, the surprising smash hit narrated by a murdered girl. Booksellers hope Moon will rise to the same heights, but Sebold really pushes boundaries with this one. Mixed early reviews indicate it will be a tougher sell.
