We Need to Talk About Kevin
It's a good book, I know it is, but I think I'm going to have to stop reading it. I'm a bit less than halfway through it, and I feel so depressed by it.
The way Eva knows her son is all wrong from the day he's born is terrifying. If people read this before having babies, they would have second thoughts about procreating at all! And the relationship between her and her husband rings alarm bells from day one. The whole situation feels hopeless. Seriously, I'm getting depressed by it.
It's really good, though. Very powerful. I keep getting drawn back to it. Has anyone else read it? Finished it? Given up halfway? Any recommendations for antidotes? Books / authors to lift my mood? *sighs*
