Caustic 1

This book addresses a sensitive issue. How to react to the actions of his children?
It starts with a simple dinner. The purpose of the dinner is to discuss the very serious acts committed by their children, but this disturbing topic will put a long time to come on the table ... and we will discover little by little along this book, what it is ...
From the start we feel the tensions between an elder brother who seems very pompous in his political success and his younger brother (the narrator) who seems to have a simpler life, more sedate, more familly ... The meal forward, tensions increasingly palpable and flashbacks tracing the history of the narrator shed new light on the guests ..
the characters eventually appear in a new light ... and in the end, do not be what they initially seemed ....
The flashbacks break too the pace, but overall it holds in suspense ... with a narrative structure, related to meal times, rather well found.
The novel will be disturbing ... the tone acid, caustic, immoral ...
The final will be even more ...
A novel that will not leave indifferent ...
