We read, we watch, and then we discuss!

Read the book, then watch books on the big screen with us here at West Wyandotte.

Our book/movie selection for July is "We Need to Talk About Kevin" by Lionel Shriver

About the book:

The gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry.

Eva never really wanted to be a mother - and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.

 

After the movie we will have a book/movie discussion

We hope to see you there!
