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.

Writing with a pace and intensity surpassing even her own greatest work, Anita Shreve delivers in TESTIMONY a gripping emotional drama with the impact of a thriller. No one more compellingly explores the dark impulses that sway the lives of seeming innocents, the needs and fears that drive ordinary men and women into intolerable dilemmas, and the ways in which our best intentions can lead to our worst transgressions.

Sent as a birthday RABCK to a wonderful BC friend. Hope you enjoy it!

I finally read this book! It was a quick read …. and I did not plan to charge through it but I did. Thanks a lot for sending it over. I enjoyed the structure of the book and how it was told with each chapter giving a different voice giving a new perspective on what was a sad, shocking and dreadful act.

While visiting Carole888, I picked this up. Love The Shreve, and find her work totally gripping. Thank you for the sharing.
