The Most Humane Way to Kill a Lobster

Work:: The Most Humane Way to Kill a Lobster (S0219732922)

"You put it in the freezer. Alive. It slowly loses consciousness, so when you transfer it to the boiling water it doesn't feel a thing. It's asleep, you see? I suppose that this is how I've felt. Recently. That I've been asleep. I've been in some deep freeze and suddenly I can feel steam in my face, I'm falling headlong into scalding water." It's 2005, the sun is shining, the war is over and Loretta is planning to make Sophie's favourite meal. But when her daughter stops talking to her, children start vanishing, and rooms begin to cry, Loretta can't help feeling that something is up and that she might have something to do with it.
