INSTANT
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Wise
and addictive... The Gifted School is the juiciest novel I've read in ages... a
suspenseful, laugh-out-loud page-turner and an incisive inspection of privilege,
race and class."--J. Courtney Sullivan in The New York Times
"The
summer read that predicted the college-admissions scandal." -The Wall
Street Journal
Smart
and juicy, a compulsively readable novel about a previously happy group of
friends and parents that is nearly destroyed by their own competitiveness when
an exclusive school for gifted children opens in the community
This deliciously sharp novel
captures the relentless ambitions and fears that animate parents and their
children in modern America, exploring the conflicts between achievement and
potential, talent and privilege.
Set in the fictional town of
Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that
observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions
and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies. Seen
through the lens of four families who've been a part of one another's lives
since their kids were born over a decade ago, the story reveals not only the
lengths that some adults are willing to go to get ahead, but the effect on the
group's children, sibling relationships, marriages, and careers, as simmering
resentments come to a boil and long-buried, explosive secrets surface and
detonate. It's a humorous, keenly observed, timely take on ambitious parents,
willful kids, and the pursuit of prestige, no matter the cost.
