"At a New England boarding school, a sex scandal is about to break. Even more shocking than the sexual acts themselves is the fact that they were caught on videotape.

A Pandora's box of revelations, the tape triggers a chorus of voices--those of the men, women, teenagers, and parents involved in the scandal--that details the ways in which lives can be derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment."

A wishlist book, acquired through PaperBackSwap. (Unabridged on 8 CD's; read by various readers)

This book was really a pleasant surprise. I've read several of Anita Shreve's, and I've generally thought her subject matter was fairly interesting, but was never really blown away by any of them. This has easily been my favorite thus far. Basic plot summary: teenage sex scandal at a private school...A videotape is released & repurcussions follow. This was told from a variety of character perspectives, both major and minor. It brought to the surface a lot of varied emotions and allows the reader to see a situation from a not-so-narrow-minded point of view. I earread this on audio, and thought it was read very well by a cast of readers. The only complaint I have is that it did jump back & forth in time which was mildly confusing, as well as the variation of 1st person/3rd person/omniscient narrator. I think I may have enjoyed it even more had it been all in 1st person narration. But regardless, a very good novel.

Looks interesting, so I'm pulling it from the bookbox. Thanks for sharing.
