More about the book
The Raskin brothers once took pride in producing asbestos, a material they believed benefited society. However, their mine is now under scrutiny due to serious health issues linked to it. As the world evolves for the better, the community surrounding the mine faces a darker transformation. Byron, their wealthy and war-hero nephew, encourages them to seek less toxic minerals, but his own life is unraveling. His wife, Carmel, whom he thought he was saving through marriage, has become a pretentious figure, disdainful of Byron's values while still exploiting his wealth. Together with their son Albert, they embody a new world obsessed with mimicry and superficiality, leading to a rise in victims. A local professor faces false sexual harassment accusations, and a young woman suffers devastating consequences after being drugged at a party. Meanwhile, naive Eva Mott, who idolizes her talented cousin Clara, becomes another tragic figure. The narrative of Eva Mott and her struggles resonates deeply, showcasing the power and brilliance of the author, filled with sharp wit and authenticity. This work promises to spark controversy, yet its genuine portrayal of human experiences is undeniable.
