{"product_id":"9781781255674","title":"We Need To Talk About Kevin","description":"WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2010ONE MILLION COPIES SOLDEva 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.","brand":"Lionel Shriver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037425385790,"sku":"9781781255674","price":351.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781781255674_9634bbcb-4c50-4496-ad90-fdc42430e1d8.jpg?v=1707620630","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781781255674","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
