Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not of the boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who tried to befriend him. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband. Uneasy with the sacrifices of motherhood, Eva fears that her dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so drastically off the rails. Winner of the 2005 Orange Prize, We Need To Talk About Kevin is a brilliant, controversial, unsettling book.

Les voies qui mènent à la découverte de la sexualité sont multiples, comme le prouvent ces histoires dont les héros sont souvent des enfants. Mais l'innocence enfantine peut cacher des réserves de dépravation insoupçonnées, et du besoin d'amour naît parfois la pire perversité. Toutes ces nouvelles parlent d'amour, de son excès ou de son absence, du désir et de ses frustrations, de ses fantasmes, de ses délires sadiques ou masochistes... Le mal rôde sous le masque de la banale réalité quotidienne ; même les papillons à l'occasion deviennent sinistres... Insolites et insolentes, provocatrices, hautement originales, les nouvelles de Ian McEwan surprennent toujours, choquent parfois ; elles représentent un tour de force de concision et d'humour noir.
