I Have Some Questions for You

‘A modern whodunnit in the Me Too and Black Lives Matter era’

Another very good book written by the author of The Great Believers
It has the characteristics of a page-turner (who killed this young student on her university campus 20 years ago? ) but also focuses on modern issues: men's control and abuse over women seen through 2 different periods of time: the 90s and the present. Bodie the narrator, who is an alumna of this university and a former roommate of the victim, navigates between the past and the present to denounce how women were treated and how a blind social system let it thrive. This quest for truth is sometimes fueled by the ambivalent role of social media.
It also raises the question of how racial and social prejudices can lead a whole society to confine individuals into ready-made culprits
This is an absorbing novel for all these reasons
