New England White
Product Description
Lemaster Carlyle, the president of the country’s most prestigious university, and his wife, Julie, the divinity school’s deputy dean, are America’s most prominent and powerful African American couple. Driving home owing to a swirling blizzard late one night, the couple skids off the road. Near the sight of their industrial accident they learn a dead body. To her horror, Julia recognizes the body as a prominent academic and one of her ex- lovers. In the wake of the death, the icy veneer of their town Elm Harbor, a place Julie calls “the heart of whiteness,” starts to crack, having devastating consequences for a prominent local family and sending shock waves all the way to the White House.

I have not read a more compelling page-turner in a very long time. What a perfect read! Deep characters, racy plot and an fascinating background. I honestly could not place it down and the house around me suffered in anticipation of I reached the end. Thank you Stephen L. Carter for your novel. How nice a man with obvious intellectual acheivements can also write such accessible entertaining fiction.

“Carter, the author of The Emperor of Ocean Park proves again why he is one of the greatest tale tellers today. New England White is a glimpse of what goes on behind the façade of the haves and the have nots.”
