A heart-rending reckoning with some of the most incendiary issues that divide us in our troubled times - religious extremism; abortion; gun violence; capital punishment - this is a novel Joyce Carol Oates was born to write. To read it is to encounter the full spectrum of humanity - its ugliness, misery, beauty and hope.
Klappentext:
Two families.
Two faces of America.
One violent crime that will bitterly divide them - and yet bind them together forever.

'Dramatic, dazzling, ingenious, agile ... her uniquely sane, empathetic voice seems particularly vital and timely during Trump's presidency' Literary Review
'The most relevant book of Oates's half-century-long career . . . a masterpiece' Washington Post
