Reviews
"A gripping novel, one that shines a light on family dynamics under extreme pressure." --The Vancouver Sun "Zoe Whittall's undisputed talent as a writer shines, as does her understanding into the complexity of our sympathies, our morality, and our humanity. With incredible empathy and undeniable skill this book is sure to spark much-needed dialogue, vital debate, and richly deserved acclaim." --Stacey May Fowles, author of Infidelity " The Best Kind of People examines the effects of rape culture on an entire community with rare nuance and insight. Every character is fully rounded, flawed, and achingly human. It puts me in mind of a twenty-first-century Ordinary People ." --Kate Harding, author of Asking for It " The Best Kind of People gets into the hearts and minds of an ordinary family forced to confront the monstrous. This novel is a timely discussion of what we owe those who abuse and those who are targeted in our communities." --Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of W e Love You, Charlie Freeman "This may just be Whittall's breakout novel, and deservedly so." --The Winnipeg Review "Taut, compassionate and clever." --Toronto Star, " The Best Kind of People gets into the hearts and minds of an ordinary family forced to confront the monstrous. This novel is a timely discussion of what we owe those who abuse and those who are targeted in our communities." --Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of W e Love You, Charlie Freeman "I am obsessed with this book." --Samantha Irby, author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life "In our post-Harvey Weinstein world [this book] feels more timely and urgent than ever. . . . It draws an elegant line between rape culture, patriarchy, and privilege." --Claire Cameron, The Millions " The Best Kind of People examines the effects of rape culture on an entire community with rare nuance and insight. Every character is fully rounded, flawed, and achingly human. It puts me in mind of a twenty-first-century Ordinary People ." --Kate Harding, author of Asking for It "Sure to provoke debate and send book discussion groups into overtime." -- Library Journal (starred review) "A powerful page-turner." -- Cosmopolitan "A gripping novel, one that shines a light on family dynamics under extreme pressure." --The Vancouver Sun "Zoe Whittall's undisputed talent as a writer shines, as does her understanding into the complexity of our sympathies, our morality, and our humanity.

Synopsis
A local schoolteacher is arrested, leaving his family to wrestle with the possibility of his guilt, in this exquisite novel about loyalty, truth, and happiness. The Woodburys cherish life in the affluent, bucolic suburb of Avalon Hills, Connecticut. George is a beloved science teacher at the local prep school, a hero who once thwarted a gunman, and his wife, Joan, is a hardworking ER nurse. They have brought up their children in this thriving town of wooded yards and sprawling lakes. Then one night a police car pulls up to the Woodbury home and George is charged with sexual misconduct with students from his daughter's school. As he sits in prison awaiting trial and claiming innocence, Joan vaults between denial and rage as friends and neighbors turn cold. Their daughter, seventeen-year-old Sadie, is a popular high school senior who becomes a social outcast--and finds refuge in an unexpected place. Her brother, Andrew, a lawyer in New York, returns home to support the family, only to confront unhappy memories from his past. A writer tries to exploit their story, while an unlikely men's rights activist group attempts to recruit Sadie for their cause. Provocative and unforgettable, The Best Kind of People reveals the cracks along the seams of even the most perfect lives and the unraveling of an American family. GILLER PRIZE FINALIST * NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK POST "A compelling exploration of the ways a crime implicates all of us." --Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of We Love You, Charlie Freeman "I am obsessed with this book." --Samantha Irby, author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life "In our post-Harvey Weinstein world [this book] feels more timely and urgent than ever. . . .
