She's Come Undone
by
Wally Lamb

 

A selection of Oprah's Book Club! In his extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites readers to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years. Meet 13-year-old Delores Price. She's left her childhood behind, and spends her adolescence munching in front of the TV. When she orbits into young womanhood at 257 pounds, she is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before she really goes under. A "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year; a "People" Magazine Top 10 Book of the Year; A "Los Angeles Times" Book Award Finalist for Best First Novel of the Year.

** Here's what some FMF staffers had to say about this month's pick!

Reviewed by Amina Doherty, FMF Summer Intern
"This was one of those books that I found impossible to put down. I found it amazing the way Wally Lamb mapped Dolores’ life; making every issue she experienced - obesity, sexual ambiguity, self-delusion, and madness seem all so very real!"

Reviewed by Cathi Cooper
"Excellent choice. Wally Lamb is a favorite and if you get a chance, read his book on the women in prison and their lives. Not light; but excellent!"

Reviewed by Elle
"This is an incredible achievement, so real, so emotionally genuine, it's hard to believe it wasn't written by a woman. It has an almost autobiographical feel to it."

Reviewed by Jenn
"I have read this classic many times, for school, and personally. Wally Lamb does an amazing job relating to the problems and issues of feminity that women face in our society, and his use of imagery is outstanding. I definitely recommend this book as something for any and all women to read, at least once!"
