Bag om Privilege

From the beloved author of When You Read This, a smart, sharply observed novel about gender and class on a contemporary Southern college campus in the spirit of The Female Persuasion and Prep. Carter University: ΓÇ£The Harvard of the South.ΓÇ¥ Annie Stoddard was the smartest girl in her small public high school in Georgia, but now that sheΓÇÖs at Carter, it feels like sheΓÇÖs got ΓÇ£Scholarship StudentΓÇ¥ written on her forehead. Bea Powers put aside misgivings about attending college in the South as a biracial student to take part in CarterΓÇÖs Justice Scholars program. But even within that rarefied circle of people trying to change the world, it seems everyone has a different idea of what justice is. Stayja York goes to Carter every day, too, but she isnΓÇÖt a student. She works at the Coffee Bean, doling out almond milk lattes to entitled co-eds, while trying to put out fires on the home front and save for her own education. Their three lives intersect unexpectedly when Annie accuses fourth-year student Tyler Brand of sexual assault. Once Bea is assigned as TylerΓÇÖs student advocate, the girls find themselves on opposite sides as battle lines are drawn across the picture-perfect campusΓÇöand Stayja finds herself invested in the caseΓÇÖs outcome, too. Told through the viewpoints of Annie, Bea, and Stayja, Privilege is a bracingly clear-eyed look at todayΓÇÖs campus politics, and a riveting story of three young women making their way in a world not built for them.
