Giveaway!! Testimony by Anita Shreve



I want to give a special Thank You to Valerie from Hachette for offering to give away 5 copies of Testimony by Anita Shreve!

Here is a summary of Testimony from Hachette's website:

At a New England boarding school, a sex scandal is about to break. Even more shocking than the sexual acts themselves is the fact that they were caught on videotape. A Pandora's box of revelations, the tape triggers a chorus of voices--those of the men, women, teenagers, and parents involved in the scandal--that details the ways in which lives can be derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment.

Writing with a pace and intensity surpassing even her own greatest work, Anita Shreve delivers in TESTIMONY a gripping emotional drama with the impact of a thriller. No one more compellingly explores the dark impulses that sway the lives of seeming innocents, the needs and fears that drive ordinary men and women into intolerable dilemmas, and the ways in which our best intentions can lead to our worst transgressions.

Anita Shreve is one of my favorite authors and I can't wait until I have the chance to read this book myself. From previous reviews of this novel, it appears that the content of this book is very controversial and has definitely created a lot of buzz. You can also check out more of Anita Shreve's novels at her website here.
