WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2010 ONE MILLION COPIES
SOLD Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the
mother of a boy named Kevin who murdered seven of his fellow high
school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who had tried to
befriend him. 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.
