Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Good. 256 pages. Cover wornFrank and Phinus have been happily marri ed for fourteen years when a senseless act loses them their only child, their teenage son Jem. From then on they are immersed in a nightmare from which there seems to be no escape. Phinus loses h er ability to sleep, and the formerly gentle Frank tries to comba t his grief and guilt with obsessive vengefulness which escalates out of control. A weekend visit to a country house hotel is supp osed to bring the couple back together, but it erups into a serie s of escalating bizarre, hilarious confrontations which only emph asizes their estrangement. Dorrestein's novels are always based o n a topical social issue familiar from newspaper headlines, which make them provocative and contemporary: In Without Mercy, it is a teenage shooting with echoes of American high school massacres like that at Columbine High in Denver two years ago. This heartbr eaking, yet strangely funny, thought-provoking and compelling nov el about guilt and grief is by a mistress of suspense who shows u s all that hell is not other people as is generally supposed: tha t there is nothing as terrible as what a person can do to himself .
