About this product
Product Information
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. Adapted and directed by Lynne Ramsay (Morvern Callar, Ratcatcher), the film of We Need to Talk About Kevin stars Tila Swinton (I Am Love) and John C. Reilly (The Aviator), with Ezra Miller (Californication) as the eponymous teenage murderer.Product Identifiers

We Need to Talk About Kevin
Not sure why I missed out on reading this treasure when it came out. It is a classic of our times. Hard to explain what goes on without plot-spoiling, but if you interested and intrigued by sociopathy or antisocial personality disorder & the origins of it (Nature or Nurture?), this book will meet all your requirements and more. Very very little shocks me any more, but even though you can sense the ultimate tragedy approaching, it is so well written that it IS shocking. The authoress puts flesh on her subjects & situations - we can see them, thanks to her perfect creative writing throughout, and much of what we 'see' is so dreadful, compelling & heartbreaking. 10/10, and no mistake. I've just ordered the DVD so here's hoping it goes somewhere near capturing the menace, the despair & the terrible desire for love from the predators among us.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
