I just submitted The Big Girls by Susanna Moore for your validating
pleasure. The synopsis is below.
Shannon
THE BIG GIRLS is set in the dilapidated and mismanaged Sloatsburg women's
prison in upstate New York, and the psyches of the novel's four main
characters
are equally fractured and precarious. Helen, an inmate, has murdered her two
children; Dr. Forrest, Helen's psychiatrist, finds herself strangely drawn
to her patient; Ike Bradshaw, a correctional guard, both uses and abuses his
power; and Vangie, a Hollywood actress, becomes caught up in Helen's
delusional
inner world. The subject matter is dark, the textures are Gothic and rich,
the psychology is riveting, and at the dark center of the book, the murderer
Helen is strangely sympathetic. Author Susanna Moore has said that she
"loves" Helen, and the most disturbing aspect of this book is that the
reader might
too.
