Those Who Knew: A Novel

"Idra Novey’s Those Who Knew is a timely and timeless novel about sex and power. The story begins in an unnamed country 10 years after the fall of a dictatorial regime supported by foreign powers. When a young woman who is involved with a powerful senator is killed, Lena is immediately suspicious. Years earlier, when she was herself a young activist involved with the same man, she remained silent about his abuse. What if she had spoken then? What if she speaks out now? The result is a completely riveting and elegantly constructed story."
