The Confession That Shook Little Tall Island
"I didn't kill Vera Donovan, but I did kill my husband Joe St. George thirty years ago during the total eclipse, and I don't regret it one bit." With these words, Dolores Claiborne begins her confession at the Little Tall Island police station. She's not there to deny involvement in her wealthy employer's recent death-though the entire island suspects her-but to unburden herself of a different crime altogether. Her voice carries the weight of decades of justified conviction, speaking in a distinctive Down East Maine dialect thick with local expressions and hard-earned wisdom. What follows is a raw, uninterrupted monologue that pulls us deep into her world-a remote coastal community where everyone knows everyone's business, yet the darkest secrets remain hidden behind closed doors. Dolores isn't trying to paint herself as a saint or victim, though she certainly endured years of victimization. She's tough, profane, and utterly practical-a woman shaped by decades of hard work and maternal protection.
