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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49401559187683,"sku":"9.78185E+12","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9781846687341.jpg?v=1783958398","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.pro\/products\/9781846687341","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
