“We need to talk about Kevin” by Lionel Shriver

“In this gripping novel of motherhood gone awry, Lionel Shriver approaches the tragedy of a high-school massacre from the point of view of the killer's mother. In letters written to the boy's father, mother Eva probes the upbringing of this more-than-difficult child and reveals herself to have been the reluctant mother of an unsavory son. As the schisms in her family de ella unfold, we draw closer to an unexpected climax that holds breathtaking surprises and its own hard-won redemption.
