Y ella necesita nombrar a ese joven al que no supo amar y preguntarse por el origen del Mal. No hay nadie querible en esta novela de Lionel Shriver. Eva es una empresaria exitosa, creadora de guías de turismo hípster; Franklin es un publicista. Kevin irrumpe como una maldición en su vida perfecta. Es temible desde que nace. Nada le importa.
