Whidbey : A Novel

Madden, T Kira


<p><b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER</b></p><p><b>"Audacious and instantly gripping . . . hums with cinematic tension, echoing classic thrillers without tipping into pastiche. . . . In Madden's vision, justice is partial at best and closure rare—and yet <i>Whidbey</i> is deeply satisfying." — Catherine Chidgey, <i>New York Times Book Review</i></b></p><p><b>"There is, to put it simply, no book quite like <i>Whidbey</i>." —<i>Vogue</i> </b></p><p><b>A portrait of three women connected through one man in the aftermath of his murder—a stunning literary achievement and the explosive and highly anticipated debut novel from beloved award-winning memoirist T Kira Madden. </b></p><p>Birdie Chang didn't know anything about Whidbey Island when she chose it, only that it was about as far away as she could get from her own life. She's a woman on the run, desperate for an escape from the headlines back home and the look of concern in her girlfriend's eyes—and from Calvin Boyer, the man who abused her as a child and who's now resurfaced. On her way, she has an unnerving encounter with a stranger on the ferry who offers her a proposition, a sinister solution and plan for revenge.</p><p>But Birdie isn't the only girl Calvin harmed back then. There's also Linzie King, a former reality TV star who recently wrote all about it in her bestselling memoir. Though the two women have never met, their stories intertwine. Once Birdie arrives on Whidbey, she finally cracks the book's spine, only to find too much she recognizes in its pages. Soon after, on the other side of the country, Calvin's loving mother, Mary-Beth, receives a shocking phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered.</p><p>Calvin's death sets into motion a series of events that sends each woman on a desperate search for answers. A complex whodunit told from alternating points of view, Whidbey is searingly perceptive and astonishingly original. Exploring the long reach of violence and our flawed systems of incarceration and rehabilitation, this is a tense and provocative debut that's sure to incite crucial questions about the pursuit of justice and who has real power over a story: the one who lives it, or the one who tells it?</p><p><b>"Epic in its scope, intimate in its evocation, <i>Whidbey</i> reads like a thriller, compels like a mystery and regarding the human condition, converses with the classics.
