Hara's review of Before You Know Kindness
Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian (Goodreads author!)
A thoughtful, complex book dealing with the complications of family relationships. Like many of his earlier books, this book has at its core an ethical dilemma. Bohjalian is great at writing about what happens to essentially decent people under great stress. The specifics of what he deals with here are gun violence and vegetarianism, as well as the fragility of adolescence, but really what is at issue are issues themselves, and the consequences of prioritizing principles over people.
