...Washington courtroom was crowded and tense as the prosecutor bored in on Latrena Pixley, a young mother who sat emotionless on the witness stand. "You carried your first child for nine months, held him in your arms and then gave him away. You carried your second child for nine months, held him in your arms, and you haven't seen him for six years. You carried your third child for nine months, held her in your arms and then killed her.

The talons of this brand of "savage love" are thickly lacquered and varnished. And it's the ritualization of this savagery that makes it seem all the more deadly...
...Francesca Delbanco), a kind of anti-heroine. After her children are quarantined, she flees London, only to be chased back because other towns fear the possibility of infection from a Londoner. When she returns to the empty frame of a house that once contained her family, her response is emotionless. Her frequently vacant stare makes Chandler strangely cold, an awkward position for a central female character...
