About this Item

Neuware -From the author of The Great Believers, an absorbing novel about a woman, Bodie, who returns to the Connecticut prep school she attended in the '90s to teach a summer school. Back then, a pupil was murdered. There was a trial, and a conviction, but Bodie is realising that it is entirely possible the real murderer walked free. Ninety-Five is an involving novel which confronts the fact that little has changed in attitudes to young women in the last twenty-five years. It's absolutely brilliant on sexism, racism, class privilege and entitlement, as well as being humane and a pleasure to read.

About this title

Synopsis

The riveting new novel from the author of The Great Believers, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award

A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past: the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the 1995 murder of a classmate, Thalia Keith. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia's death and the conviction of the school's athletics coach, Omar Evans, are the subject of intense fascination online, Bodie prefers-needs-to let sleeping dogs lie.

But when The Granby School invites her back to teach a two-week course, Bodie finds herself inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent flaws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn't as much of an outsider at Granby as she'd thought-if, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case.

One of the most acclaimed contemporary American writers, Rebecca Makkai reinvents herself with each of her brilliant novels. Both a transfixing mystery and a deeply felt examination of one woman's reckoning with her past, I Have Some Questions for You is her finest achievement yet.
