A cool, calm, irresistible masterpiece.' CHRIS CLEAVE, author of Little Bee ![]() 'Brilliant, beautiful, shockingly lucid and real, this is a novel as big as life built from small, secret, closely observed beats of the human heart. Here is a novel of immense power and scope.' COLM TOIBIN, author of Brooklyn ' The Slap is nothing short of a tour de force, and it confirms Christos Tsiolkas's reputation as one of the most significant contemporary storytellers at work today. Tsiolkas throws open a window on society, picks apart its flaws, embraces its contradictions and recognises its beauty, all the time asking the reader, Who side are you on? Honestly, one of the three or four truly great novels of the new millennium.' JOHN BOYNE, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas 'Once in a while a novel comes along that reminds me why I love to read: The Slap is such a book. Poignant and provocative, THE SLAP makes us question the nature of commitment and happiness, compromise and truth. Told through the eyes of eight of those present at the barbecue, this acclaimed bestseller is an unflinching interrogation of the life of the modern family. It is a single act, but the slap reverberates through the lives of everyone who witnesses it. At a suburban barbecue, a man slaps a child who is not his own. ![]()
