Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee

 A self destructive love is what it is.

The sense of disgrace in the characters come from different sources. This sense is so distant that it can only be in the heads. You look closer and it is just a self destructive commotion which has been put into action by some events in life.

You can't see the events which caused it but you just witness the out come of it in the light of eventualities (in front of committee and police). It is very much visible how Luries (father and daughter) act and decide in those moments.

It is not a pleasure to read specially when you're thinking that these characters should behave rationally but that is what makes them what they are.
