Kurz vor seinem sechzehnten Geburtstag richtet Kevin in der Schule ein Blutbad an. Innerhalb weniger Stunden ist das Leben seiner Mutter Eva nicht mehr, wie es war. Von allen verurteilt und ab sofort auf sich selbst gestellt, findet sie den Mut, sich in aller Offenheit quälenden Fragen auszusetzen: Hätte sie ihre Ehe retten können? Hätte sie ihr Kind mehr lieben sollen? Hätte sie das Unglück verhindern können?

The Orange prize winning, million copy bestseller
Klappentext:
Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who tried to befriend him. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood and Kevin\'s horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.
Rezension:
Once in a while, a stunningly powerful novel comes along, knocks you sideways and takes your breath away: this is it... a horrifying, original, witty, brave and deliberately provocative investigation into all the casual assumptions we make about family life, and motherhood in particular Daily Mail
