À propos de cet audio

Nora heads home to Chateau in search of a fresh start, but her arrival comes at a time of social unrest that threatens to uncover long-hidden secrets.

Nora Best is done running. She’s heading to her hometown of Chateau, to the grand Quail House, to stay with her mother and claim the great American privilege of starting over. But she might find it is hard to start over when the past is catching up....

The night Nora arrives in Chateau, a White police officer shoots and kills Robert Evans, a young Black man. The officer in question is Nora’s school sweetheart, Alden Tydings. What really happened that night? Did Alden act in self-defense as he claims?

Robert is the nephew of Bobby Evans, a man whose murder during the race protests of 1967 was never solved. Bobby and his sister, Grace, used to work at Quail House before Nora was born and, as tensions in Chateau rise, Nora begins to uncover secrets within her family home that could upend the lives of everyone in town....

I liked Book 1 in this series; the main character was complex, and grew personally as the book went on; overall, I liked her. I HATED her in this Book 2. VERY early in the book, she revealed herself to be a raging hypocrite, and extremely selfish. She got worse as the book continued, including, over and over again, blatantly choosing self-interest over what is so very obviously right. Close to the end of the book, she declares (out loud) that her desire to have a relationship with a newly-discovered relative is so important that horrific past actions committed by her family members should be ignored, and the one still-alive perpetrator avoid any consequences because the crimes took place “so long ago”. She goes on to state that a person should not be held to account for past heinous crimes, if that person is now elderly. (I immediately thought of [Nazi] holocaust architects and enthusiastic participants who, when finally unearthed in the early 2000s, tried the same argument. At least one Klu Klux Klan member who in the 1960s murdered civil rights workers argued it as well, when his guilt was finally established.)

Huge disappointment after Book 1
