Eva Khatchadourian writes to her estranged husband her version of their sons Kevin's upbringing till that fatal day when he killed nine people just three days before his sixteenth birthday! It is constructed like a thriller and often you gasp at what you learn. It makes you think hard: what makes a monster - his parents? his upbringing? himself? A very interesting read indeed.
* Winner of this year's Orange Prize.
