Summary
Wally Lamb’s unforgettable debut novel, She’s Come Undone, is a powerful coming-of-age story told through the singular voice of Dolores Price. From the traumas of her youth—including divorce, sexual abuse, and emotional neglect—Dolores buries her pain in food, sarcasm, and emotional walls. What unfolds is a journey through self-destruction and ultimately, redemption. Lamb writes with heartbreaking honesty and dark humor, capturing the raw voice of a woman struggling to find herself in a world that has consistently failed her. Dolores is a literary heroine whose flaws make her real, whose struggles resonate deeply, and whose evolution is both harrowing and hopeful. Selected by Oprah’s Book Club, this novel remains a poignant exploration of identity, trauma, healing, and the long road to self-acceptance. A modern classic in psychological fiction and women’s literature.
