""Impossible to put down. . . . Who, in the end, needs to talk about Kevin? Maybe we all do.” — Boston Globe
Acclaimed author Lionel Shriver's gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry
Shriver’s 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 reverberates with the haunting power of high hopes shattered by dark realities.
Eva never really wanted to be a mother—and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. 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 estranged husband, Franklin. 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.
Like Shriver’s charged and incisive later novels, including So Much for That and The Post-Birthday World, We Need to Talk About Kevin is a piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence, family ties, and responsibility.

Dit vind ik zelf haar beste boek. Ik heb het meerdere keren beluisterd en ben er nog steeds niet over uit of de moeder de zoon afwees omdat zij zijn boosaardigheid aanvoelde, of dat de zoon zich zo ontwikkelde omdat zijn moeder hem afwees.

Ik vond de interactie in het huwelijk wel tenenkrommend en wilde het bijna wegleggen daardoor. Voor de rest spannend, mooi opgebouwd en zeer goed voorgelezen. Extra compliment voor uitspraak.

Moeilijk te geloven dat een kind zo "boosaardig" geboren zou worden. En moeilijk te horen hoe de protagonist zich toch in een slachtofferrol presenteert, terwijl ze haar zoon van de geboorte afwijst...
