The Whispers

In our latest read, hosts Deb, Simone and Tanya discuss “The Whispers” from Ashley Audrain which takes us to a well-to-do neighbor­hood where couples and their kids gather for a barbecue as the summer winds down. Everything is fabulous until Whitney, the picture-perfect hostess, explodes in fury because her son disobeys her. Everyone at the party hears her exquisite veneer crack—loud and clear. Before long, that same young boy falls from his bedside window in the middle of the night. And then his mother can only sit by her son's hospital bed, where his life hangs in the balance. Over the course of a tense three days, the women on the street grapple with what led to that terrible night. There are secrets, deceptions and lies within this group of women on Harlow Street.
