We need to talk about Kevin

We need to talk about Kevin ~ Lionel Shriver


Characters - Kevin (son and murderer), Eva (mother of Kevin), Franklin (father of Kevin, killed by him)


Struggles

  • social 
  • individual - Kevin puts on a face but underneath it all he is the same as any other normal child
The novel is written as a series of letters from Kevins mother Eva to her deceased husband, so if written from her perspective as she tries to find why Kevin committed all the murders and what happened to him to make him turn out the way he did.
