Aptly named, award winning novel The Slap chronicles the events following a family barbeque where a child is slapped across the face by a friend of the family, and the ramifications thereof. The book follows a variety of characters, different in age, creed and beliefs, as they examine their own personal views on the subject of child abuse and acceptance in a morality-driven society.
