"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 murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia's death and the conviction of the school's athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers - needs - to let sleeping dogs lie. But when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course, Bodie is 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. In I Have Some Questions For You, award-winning author Rebecca Makkai has crafted her most irresistible novel yet: a stirring investigation into collective memory and a deeply felt examination of one woman's reckoning with her past, with a transfixing mystery at its heart. Timely, hypnotic, and populated with a cast of unforgettable characters, I Have Some Questions For You is at once a compulsive page-turner and a literary triumph." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Some books are so universal that they feel bizarrely specific: I read I Have Some Questions For You as if it was written just for me, but I can't imagine who wouldn't love it. Timely, provocative, nuanced, generous - Rebecca Makkai astonishes once again with the perfect combination of brains and heart." - Laura Lippman, author. "Rebecca Makkai's extraordinary storytelling gifts are on full display in this urgent, propulsive novel. I loved walking alongside narrator Bodie Kane - angry, obsessive, struggling with her own traumatic memories - in her imperfect attempts to reckon with a past she longs to leave behind." - Elizabeth Wetmore, author. "Clever and deeply thoughtful .a deliciously complex reckoning." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review). Seller Inventory # 008505
