InReconstructing Amelia, the stunning debut novel from Kimberly McCreight, Kateβs in the middle of the biggest meeting of her career when she gets the telephone call from Grace Hall, her daughterβs exclusive private school in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Amelia has been suspended, effective immediately, and Kate must come get her daughterβnow. But Kateβs 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 itβs already too late for Amelia. And for Kate.
An academic overachiever despondent over getting caught cheating has jumped to her death. At least thatβs 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 didnβt jump.
Reconstructing Ameliais about secret first loves, old friendships, and an all-girls club steeped in tradition. But, most of all, itβs the story of how far a mother will go to vindicate the memory of a daughter whose life she couldnβt save.
Fans of Gillian FlynnβsGone Girlwill findReconstructing Ameliajust as gripping and surprising.
