Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian

Before You Know Kindness by Chris Bohjalian

From the bestselling author of The Flight Attendant, here is a novel that examines wildly divisive American issues like gun control and animal rights with Chris Bohjalian's trademark emotional heft and spellbinding storytelling skill.

For ten summers, the Seton family--all three generations--met at their country home in New England to spend a week together playing tennis, badminton, and golf, and savoring gin and tonics on the wraparound porch to celebrate the end of the season. In the eleventh summer, everything changed. A hunting rifle with a single cartridge left in the chamber wound up in exactly the wrong hands at exactly the wrong time, and led to a nightmarish accident that put to the test the values that unite the family--and the convictions that just may pull it apart.

Chris Bohjalian is the highly praised author of sixteen books, including The Sandcastle Girls, Skeletons at the Feast, The Double Bind, and Midwifery, which were all New York Times bestsellers. Midwives was a number one New York Times bestseller and an Oprah's Book Club selection. His work has been translated into over twenty-five languages, and three of his novels (Secrets of Eden, Midwifery, and Beyond the Bleachers) have been made into films. With his wife and daughter, he lives in Vermont. Chris Bohjalian can be found on the web at www.chrisbohjalian.com and on Facebook.
