I read another book by Anita Shreeve called Testimony. This novel is about a scandal at a boarding school in Avery, Massachusetts. Sexual acts between students are caught on videotape and shared. When the videotapes are revealed, the headmaster of the school makes an error of judgement. As the responses to the scandal roll in from other students, the involved students, the parents of the students, the towns people, the story keeps a steady pace. Lawyers and police officers offer their opinions. The story is about how one act of recklessness can snowball and impact a large group of people. I enjoyed the book very much.
