Testimony by Anita Shreve

Shreve is one of my favorite authors and she's done it again with a well-written novel. It begins at Avery Academy, a boarding school, in New England. The head-master has just come into possession of a tape showing some of his under-age students involved in sexual acts. The intriguing part of this book is how she has woven together the voices of the many people whose lives are touched by the incident and the choices made in how to handle it. The ripple effect is always wide-spread, but we don't always think about it before we act. The book keeps some of its secrets until the very end. I highly recommend this!
