: En el inquietante ambiente de Nueva Orleans, cuatro amigos están a punto de reconocer las frágiles fronteras entre la lealtad y la traición. Inseparables en su día, Meredith, Brandon, Stephen y Greg entran en el instituto sólo para aprender que su amistad no puede soportar la envidia y la rabia de la adolescencia. Sus luchas individuales se ven alimentadas por las generaciones de enemistades familiares y pasiones furtivas atesoradas en sus opulentas casas del Garden District, y pronto, dos muertes violentas perturban el núcleo de esta sociedad enclaustrada. Cinco años después, los antiguos amigos se ven arrastrados de nuevo al revelarse nuevos datos sobre su historia común y al descubrirse que lo que antes se consideraba un trágico accidente es en realidad un asesinato. A medida que emerge la verdadera historia, los secretos largamente guardados empiezan a desentrañarse y las crueldades casuales del instituto se convierten en actos de violencia que amenazan con destruir a toda una comunidad. 'A Density of Souls' marca un impresionante debut y su serie de impactantes giros te dejarán tambaleándote. Audaz, convincente e inquietante, esto es gótico americano con un nuevo e intrigante disfraz.

Review
There's murder, suicide, and madness at the heart of this rather clumsy coming-of-age story, which focuses on the youthful friendship of Stephen Conlin, Meredith Ducote, Greg Darby, and Brandon Charbonnet. This friendship is destroyed by a sexual incident that takes place just before the foursome enters Cannon, an exclusive prep school. There, Stephen is ostracized by his former friends, now the most popular kids on campus, who'd just as soon forget their own complicity in the event. Envy, passion, and rage drive the narrative, but the emotions are as juvenile as the characters, and the long passages depicting the rituals and cruelties of high school, from pep rallies to football games, slow down the pace without really illuminating character or motivation. The novel reads like a roman à clef. Rice might have been wiser to tell someone else's story rather than his own. --Jane Adams
