She is Ann Patchett and "it" is month by month finding exceptional books for her Signed First Edition Club, Parnassus Books. The March selection is another fiver of five stars. I Have Some Questions For You, Rebecca Makkai, starts strong and even gets better the farther one reads.
Patchett: "I Have Some Questions for You is murder mystery and a take-down of the culture of social media....The result is a novel that's gripping, enraging, and curiously funny." Bodie, now a a successfully pod-caster is invited back to the residential high school from which she graduated 25 years previously. She's invited to teach a two week course on pod-casting. When a student chooses to do her podcast on a murder of a female student while Bodie was there as a student. That unravels a whole story. Bodie scrolls "...through all the murdered women and girls we read and hear about whose stories run together after awhile." Book factoid: "38% of murdered females are killed by an intimate."
This is a 'justice book' in the form of an entertaining novel.
Takk for alt,
