of Kimberly McCreight (Goodreads Author)
Description
In Reconstructing Amelia, the stunning debut novel from Kimberly McCreight, Kate's in the middle of the biggest meeting of her career when she gets the telephone call from Grace Hall, her daughterâs exclusive private school in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Amelia has been suspended, effective immediately, and Kate must come get her daughterânow. But Kateâs stress over leaving work quickly turns to panic when she arrives at the school and finds it surrounded by police officers, fire trucks, and an ambulance. By then itâs already too late for Amelia. And for Kate.An academic overachiever despondent over getting caught cheating has jumped to her death. At least thatâs the story Grace Hall tells Kate. And clouded as she is by her guilt and grief, it is the one she forces herself to believe. Until she gets an anonymous text: She didnât jump.Reconstructing Amelia is about secret first loves, old friendships, and an all-girls club steeped in tradition. But, most of all, itâs the story of how far a mother will go to vindicate the memory of a daughter whose life she couldnât save.Fans of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will find Reconstructing Amelia just as gripping and surprising.
