From the Radio Times:

"Kevin is a book that acknowledges what many women worry about but never express - the fear of becoming a mother and the terror of what kind of child one might bring into the world," is how Jenni Murray described this taboo-breaking psychological thriller when it won the Orange Prize for fiction in 2005. Three years later, and it's become the Woman's Hour drama, shot through with dark humour.
