The Fever
Megan Abbott
Fiction Ab28f
The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two
teens: Eli, a hockey star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a
diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos
when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained
seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the
family, school and community.
As hysteria and contagion swell, a
series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel
friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.
A
chilling story about guilt, family secrets and the lethal power of
desire, THE FEVER affirms Megan Abbott's reputation as "one of the most
exciting and original voices of her generation" (Laura Lippman).
