In the Forest tells the thrilling story of Michen O'Kane, a murderer who terrorized the countryside of western Ireland. Drawing on a true tale of local horror, Edna O'Brien traces the transformation of a neglected child into a twisted killer. In the Forest asks how to make sense of a murderer's psyche and how to reckon with the victims of his violence- a radiant young woman, her little son, and a devout and trusting priest.
Riveting, frightening, and brilliantly told, the intimate portrayal of both perpetrator and victims reminds us that anything can happen "outside the boundary of mother and child."
