Anita Shreve
2008, 305 pages
Setting: Contemporary Vermont
Anita Shreve is an author who is not afraid to tackle controversial subjects. She sets her new novel at a prestigious prep school, creates believable hot-shot basketball players, throws in one evening of alcohol and sex, and shows the devastating ripple effects of that behavior.
Should the young men be expelled for their behavior? Does the headmaster have the right to force confessions without offering legal counsel? Is the young woman a victim? Shreve examines these topics through the voices of many characters, giving differing points of view on what has happened in this small town nestled in the quiet Vermont countryside. Shreve raises moral and societal questions in this timely novel taken from recent headlines.
