![]() ![]() And he plans on it being the last conversation Rose ever has. ![]() And when he finds her, he’s going to talk to her. ![]() But Norman Daniels refuses to let his wife go. Now Rosie is finally embarking on a life of her own, for the first time in her adult life. After 14 years of extreme spousal abuse at the hands of her policeman husband, one drop of blood on a bed sheet is her catalyst for leaving this horrible half-life she’s been living and starting over somewhere new. “It ain’t the blows we’re dealt that matter, but the ones we survive.” Talk about a protagonist you can root for. Though not perfect, Rose Madder is now one of my favorite King novels outside of The Stand and the main Dark Tower series. But it was next on that list, so I found myself a copy. I can’t say I would’ve thought to pick it up had I not been so invested in the extended reading list for the Dark Tower. It’s not one commonly listed as a favorite, or even mentioned that frequently from among his works. This is one of those King books I honestly didn’t expect much from. ![]()
