Ani FaNelli is the woman who has it all: the glamorous job, the designer wardrobe, the handsome and rich fiancé. But behind her sharp edges and meticulously crafted facade lies the darkest of pasts . . .
When a documentary producer invites Ani to tell her side of the chilling and violent incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Bradley school, she hopes it will be an opportunity to prove how far she’s turned her life around since then. She’ll even let the production company film her lavish wedding, the final step in her transformation.
But as the wedding and filming converge, Ani’s past threatens to come back and haunt her. And as her immaculate veneer starts to crack, she is forced to question: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for – or, will it at long last, set Ani free?
The author went to school here and the book is partly set here but as for the school – well that’s fictional thank goodness as you wouldn’t want to go there after this!
Bryn Mawr (from the Welsh meaning “great hill”) is a census-designated place (CDP) located just west of Philadelphia along Lancaster Avenue (US-30) and the border with Delaware County. Bryn Mawr is located toward the center of what is known as the Main Line, a group of affluent Philadelphia suburban villages stretching from the city limits to Malvern. This main line is referenced in the novel to show the various parts of the state where money exists and where it doesn’t.
The school…is now but a distant memory or is it?
New York is where some of the characters are living the high life now – the city of posh homeware stores and cafes. But can it be the city you hide away in from your past?
