The Dinner by Herman Koch

This dark book takes place over the course of a family dinner - one in which serious family business it to be discussed....but only after the two families have finished a fancy five course meal, with some interesting side courses!
This was a captivating read; it was on the best seller list in the Netherlands for quite some time. The author is Dutch. Two brothers, Serge and Paul, are not the closest of brothers; in fact, you could say they pretty much despise each other. But their two sons are in some trouble together and the brothers meet (with their wives) to figure out what to do. And they disagree vehemently as to the solution.
The book is a quick read, but a compelling one, with twists and turns all the way, and a sinister voice that is disturbing, but entertaining. I don't want to spoil anything, so instead will just say, take the time to read it, especially if you like psychological thrillers like Gone Girl. As a matter of fact, this book has been referred to as the Dutch answer to Gone Girl.
