You Can't Judge a Book by Its Color (or Can You?)

We like a good book jacket story almost as much as we like a good book, and Entertainment Weekly serves one up in a sidebar to their profile of bestselling author Alice Sebold, she of The Lovely Bones. We figured the choice of red and a plummeting bergere for the cover of Sebold’s new novel, The Almost Moon, were inspired by the book’s tragedy-studded plot, which opens with the line, “When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily.”
