They come together in a Chicago courtroom to try a strange young man, a probation officer accused of arranging his mother's murder. The judge, Sonny Klonsky, knew him and his radical parents when she lived in Berkeley in the sixties, she also knew the African American lawyer who is defending him. In the courtroom, too, is her lover from those turbulent days, now a well-known journalist, whom she hasn't seen since 1970.
Turow goes beyond the exciting courtroom drama we've come to expect from him, creating a novel that moves seamlessly from the street life of today's mean inner cities to the protests and passions of the Vietnam era and back again, that considers the weight of memory and the essence of friendship.
Blair Brown, Joe Grafasi, and Joe Morton read.
