In the Forest, Edna O'Brien

Edna O'Brien's novel, In The Forest, tells the dark story of a beautiful young woman and her little son who live in a cottage on the edge of a forest in rural Ireland and are murdered by a deranged killer who has become obsessed with her.

This book is a brilliant exploration of exactly how such a horror - and other horrors that have happened since then - can come to pass. It takes us deep into the mind of the killer and makes us feel the unspeakable terror of the victims. It is told in a calm and factual way, but in the language of such intensity that the reader feels past of what is happening.
