Testimony: A Novel by Anita Shreve
Four teenagers – one dead, three with their futures in tatters. This is the opening promise of Testimony, with two or more ruined marriages and a school’s disgraced reputation thrown in.
All this drama spools out of a video cassette handed to Avery Academy’s headmaster, Mike, which shows four students – three male, one female – engaged in sexual acts. The boys are aged between 17 and 19; the girl is 14, which makes the boys’ actions sexual assault according to the laws of the State of Vermont.
