Reilly, this resonant story of a mother’s unsettling quest to understand her teenage son’s deadly violence, her own ambivalence toward motherhood, and the explosive link between them remains terrifyingly prescient.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEva never really wanted to be a mother. And certainly not the mother of a boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much–adored teacher in a school shooting two days before his sixteenth birthday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeither nature nor nurture exclusively shapes a child's character. But Eva was always uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood. Did her internalized dislike for her own son shape him into the killer he’s become? How much is her fault?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with Kevin’s horrific rampage, all in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence and responsibility, a book that the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e describes as “impossible to put down,” is a stunning examination of how tragedy affects a town, a marriage, and a family.\u003cb\u003eLIONEL SHRIVER's \u003c\/b\u003efiction includes \u003ci\u003eThe Mandibles\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eProperty\u003c\/i\u003e; the National Book Award finalist \u003ci\u003eSo Much for That\u003c\/i\u003e; the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Post-Birthday World\u003c\/i\u003e; and the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eWe Need to Talk About Kevin\u003c\/i\u003e, adapted for a 2010 film starring Tilda Swinton.
