Book: New England White

Carter, Stephen L. New England White. 9780375413629 (2007).

A fast paced and enjoyable read. Addresses issues of class and race in a way that raises essential questions about the nature of power -- all wrapped in the midst of an enthralling mystery. Politics, academe, secret societies, small town struggles, and the encroachment of gentrification -- all find themselves fair game for Carter's story. A powerful novel.
