Mother of a young teenager responsible of a slaughter in his school, it is without concession that she takes to witness his ex, Kevin’s father, through letters in which she seeks to understand the gesture of their son. There she tells the genesis of this hardly pubescent killer and confesses especially her aversion for this monster born of her entrails. Much more than of sociology or criminology, Lionel Shriver raises a question taboos : can one hate the flesh of his flesh? This slaughter is also the ideal pretext to speak about our sclerosed modern societies. To finally approach the topic of our existential quest, or rather the lost of this quest. Who, of the mother or the son, is to be felt sorry or fear? To each one to answer this, but this plural Eva will not leave you indifferent. Distressed or revulsed by this tearing story, you will take a jab. Literary blow of bludgeon, be careful of the secondary effects of this exceptional novel…31 juillet 2007
