THE RAGE THAT FLOWS THROUGH US DOES NOT BELONG TO US

No vio­lence in the house — after sepa­ra­ting from her daugh­ters’ vio­lent father and moving into an aunt’s house, this is the most important rule for Eva’s mother. But 16-year-old Eva rebels: She would much rather live with her father, who­se exces­si­ve life both attracts and worries her in an unhe­alt­hy way. He wri­tes melan­cho­ly poems, smo­kes whe­re­ver he likes, and com­pen­sa­tes for self-doubt with alco­hol, sex, and drugs. In vain, she demands love from him and belie­ves she will even­tual­ly get it from his fri­end Dove, with whom he is tem­po­r­a­ri­ly living. When Eva’s phy­si­cal and emo­tio­nal boun­da­ries are repea­ted­ly crossed, she final­ly can’t take it any­mo­re. (JK)
