Community Book Club: I Have Some Questions For You
Are you looking to connect with others? Do you love reading all kinds of books? If you answered yes, the Community Book Club is for you! The May book is I Have Some Questions For You by Rebecca Makkai.
A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past鈥攖he family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia鈥檚 death and the conviction of the school鈥檚 athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers鈥攏eeds鈥攖o let sleeping dogs lie.
But when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent 铿俛ws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn鈥檛 as much of an outsider at Granby as she鈥檇 thought鈥攊f, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case.
In I Have Some Questions for You, award-winning author Rebecca Makkai has crafted her most irresistible novel yet: a stirring investigation into collective memory and a deeply felt examination of one woman鈥檚 reckoning with her past, with a trans铿亁ing mystery at its heart. Timely, hypnotic, and populated with a cast of unforgettable characters, I Have Some Questions for You is at once a compulsive page-turner and a literary triumph.
The Community Book Club will meet via Zoom on Thursday, May 1 and May 15, from 6鈥7:30 p.m.
