The Best Kind of People By Zoe Whittall 424 pages
House of Anansi Press Inc
What if someone you trusted was accused of the unthinkable? Whittall draws you into a family’s worst nightmare as husband, father and teacher, George Woodbury, is arrested for sexual impropriety at a prestigious prep school. Told from the fam- ily’s point of view as they struggle through this emotional time, each one dealing with different repercussions of their own in their social and emotional lives. Joan, George’s wife, deals with the effects of a community turned on her family while wrestling with denial, rage and trust. Daughter, Sadie, once a popular high school senior turns into a social pariah, while son, Andrew, attempts to help in his father’s defense while struggling with his own issues and memories of growing up. An emotional read about a family’s turmoil as they deal with the imprisonment of someone they love and trusted and the possibility of his guilt. Whittall explores the widespread effects of sexual violence — on its victims, the family of the accused and indeed the commu- nity itself. A thought-provoking read on a difficult social reality where there are no easy answers for anyone.
