{"product_id":"we-need-to-talk-about-kevin","title":"We Need To Talk About Kevin","description":"WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2005\nONE MILLION COPIES SOLD\n\nEva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of a boy named Kevin who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who had tried to befriend him. Now, two years after her son's horrific rampage, Eva comes to terms with her role as Kevin's mother in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband Franklyn about their son's upbringing. Fearing that her own shortcomings may have shaped what her son has become, she confesses to a deep, long-standing ambivalence about motherhood. How much is her fault? In Lionel Shriver's hands this sensational, chilling and memorable story of a woman who raised a monster becomes a metaphor for the larger tragedy - the tragedy of a country where everything works, nobody starves, and anything can be bought but a sense of purpose.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 496 pages | Published January 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serpent's Tail","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63956539081053,"sku":"9781781255674","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781781255674.jpg?v=1774263250","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/we-need-to-talk-about-kevin","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
