In Kimberly McCreight's breathtaking first book, Reconstructing Amelia, Kate is in the midst of her most important professional meeting when she receives a call from Grace Hall, her daughter's exclusive private school in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Effective immediately, Amelia has been suspended, and Kate has to come fetch her daughter right now. But when Kate gets to the school and sees that it is surrounded by police, fire vehicles, and an ambulance, her anxiety at leaving work rapidly turns to terror. For Amelia, it will already be too late by then. together with Kate.
An overachieving student who was dejected after being discovered to have cheated committed himself. At any rate, Grace Hall tells Kate that tale. And that's the story she makes herself believe despite her shame and sadness clouding her judgement. She didn't leap until she received an anonymous text message.
Reconstructing Amelia is about long-standing friendships, a hidden first love, and a traditional all-girls club. Above all, however, it's the tale of a mother's desperation to honour the memory of her daughter, whose life she was unable to save.
Reconstructing Amelia is going to be equally as exciting and unexpected for those who enjoyed Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl.
