Book Reviews of New England White (Vintage Contemporaries)
Book Review: Glad I Persevered
Summary: 5 Stars
I, like others, slogged through the first 150 or so pages and thought I'd die of boredom. I rarely stop reading a book, but this one I couldn't continue. In fact, I started another book and read 200 pages of it, but New England White kept creeping into my thoughts. I picked it up again and am glad I did. It has been the most interesting, convoluted book I have read and enjoyed in a long time. Look forward to more by this author.
Summary of New England White (Vintage Contemporaries)
Lemaster Carlyle, the president of the country's most prestigious university, and his wife, Julie, the divinity school's deputy dean, are America's most prominent and powerful African American couple. Driving home through a swirling blizzard late one night, the couple skids off the road. Near the sight of their accident they discover a dead body. To her horror, Julia recognizes the body as a prominent academic and one of her former lovers. In the wake of the death, the icy veneer of their town Elm Harbor, a place Julie calls "the heart of whiteness," begins to crack, having devastating consequences for a prominent local family and sending shock waves all the way to the White House.General Books
