The Innocence of Roast Chicken

After an idyllic childhood and magical holidays on her grandparents’ chicken farm, the conundrum is why Kate, now married to Joe, a human rights’ lawyer, is so cynical, closed and rigidly unforgiving.
Kate’s unrelenting attitude, combined with Joe’s loss of faith in his ability to promote change, precipitates a bitter and painful confrontation. The necessary expiation reveals a child’s loss, a child’s feelings of impotence, a child’s anguish at her failure to pre-empt harm.
Kate’s salvation is painful, evocative, beautifully drawn and utterly absorbing.
