Everything I Never Told You

A good book, for me, is both revelatory and redemptive. This book is both.

It's quite awful, horrifying, really, in the same way that We Need to Talk About Kevin was awful and horrifying to me as a parent. We want to think that we are trying our best as parents. We want to think that we aren't going to make those terrible mistakes our own parents made with us. And we don't; we simply make different ones.

A very powerful book.
