The Dinner
January Book Selection--Discussion Monday, January 19, 2015
"Over dinner at an Amsterdam restaurant, two couples —
brothers and their wives — discuss a terrible crime most likely committed by their sons.
The crime is not yet public, but grainy video footage exists —
and both sets of parents know it depicts their offspring. As the conversation deepens,
one wrenching question gets clearer and more pressing by the moment:
How far will each family go to protect those it loves?"
