Description

Big Brother is a powerful and thought-provoking novel about the complexities of family relationships and the sacrifices we make for those we love. When Pandora's brother Edison arrives at her doorstep, he has changed dramatically - his once-slender frame now weighed down by hundreds of pounds. As Edison's slovenly habits and know-it-all monologues drive Pandora and her husband Fletcher to desperation, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of their own lives. At its heart, Big Brother is a searing exploration of fat, dieting, and the human condition. Lionel Shriver's distinctive wit and ferocious energy shine through on every page as she tackles the difficult questions: how far will we go to save those we love, and can we ever truly save them from themselves?
