The Innocence of Roast Chicken
The Innocence of Roast Chicken
Couldn't load pickup availability
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.
