Big Brother by Lionel Shriver

4.0

Lionel Shriver takes on the social issues of the day head-on. If you have ever even had the tiniest urge to take in-hand a close friend or family member with dysfunctional behaviors, this book will resonate. What if we really could "fix" someone's addiction or compulsive behaviors, by moving in and taking control? Shriver images the possibilities, as she tells the story of a brother and a sister, a sister who does not stand idly by as he slowly kills himself. Can she save him? What is her responsibility, anyway?
