Now, two years after her son's horrific rampage, Eva comes to terms with her role as Kevin's mother in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband Franklyn about their son's upbringing. Fearing that her own shortcomings may have shaped what her son has become, she confesses to a deep, long-standing ambivalence about motherhood. How much is her fault? In Lionel Shriver's hands this sensational, chilling and memorable story of a woman who raised a monster becomes a metaphor for the larger tragedy - the tragedy of a country where everything works, nobody starves, and anything can be bought but a sense of purpose.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47836358705306,"sku":"9781846687341","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781846687341-us-300.jpg?v=1776914949","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781846687341-we-need-to-talk-about-kevin","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
