What happens to the family of the prominent, upstanding man who is accused of unspeakable crimes?  This well-written novel delves into the minds of the family members of George, a beloved teacher, who is forced into the spotlight when a group of teenage girls accuse him of sexual abuse during a school ski trip.  The author has created complex characters with fascinating inner lives and a believable, ritzy, small town atmosphere.  There were maybe too many different scandals going on and the ending was definitely abrupt but I devoured this (fairly lengthy) novel in a manner of days.  I received an ARC of this book in a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
