NATIONAL BESTSELLER . From the bestselling author of The Flight Attendant, here is a novel that examines wildly divisive American issues like gun control and animalrightswith 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.

Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!

Reviews for Before You Know Kindness

Before You Know Kindness may very well be his best. . . . Masterly . . . timely [and] well-wrought. -The Boston Globe An irresistible read. Moving from quiet domestic drama to legal thriller. -The Washington Post A dark psychological dance of family estrangements, lies and self-righteousness . . . plenty of finely wrought characters and thought-provoking personal and political drama. -The Seattle Times Extraordinary. . . . Bohjalian has had much success in the past, including a selection as an Oprah Book Club author. Before You Know Kindness is better than anything he's written before. -Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
