Everywhere acclaimed for its acute emotional sensitivity and its astonishing narrative power, Evening News explores the world of a family devastated by loss:

Nine-year-old Teddy is playing next door when his best friend, Eric, hands him his father's handgun. The gun goes off, shooting Teddy's two-year-old half sister, Trina, who is playing in their yard — their mother, Giselle, by her side.

Fault lines appear as Giselle's husband finds himself unable to forgive his stepson, and even she wonders where her unconditional maternal love has gone. As Swick shows the emotional landscape of a family devastated by loss, she poses the unaskable questions: What would you do? How would you forgive? Whom do you love more?

"A finely crafted and starkly contemporary novel … What gives the novel real power is Swick's brilliant characterisation of Teddy … His voice gives this novel a sustaining resonance" — Debra Ginsberg, San Diego Union Tribune
