While reading, though, the multiple points of view became very confusing because 4 or 5 people had chapters to narrate and wouldn't even mention some of the other characters. First, the summary claims it's super unique because it uses multiple points of view and modes to tell the story. Jenny's not the only one with secrets, though, and some secrets can hurt much more than others… At Illington Hall, Jenny can be whoever she wants, which means she tells a couple of little white lies to look cooler. With the Vietnam draft calling Americans to war left and right, Jenny and her brother Tom decide to go to school in England, Jenny to a boarding school and Tom to university. Review: From the summary, I expected this book to blow me out of the water with the various styles of writing used and the way it was described as "provocative, often funny, and always intriguing." Sorry to say, this book was absolutely none of those things. Penelope lies only to herself.ĭeftly told from multiple points of view in various narrative styles, including letters and movie screenplays, What We Hide is provocative, honest, often funny, and always intriguing. Brenda won't tell what happened with the school doctor. But in the small world of Ill Hall, everyone has something to hide. This is Jenny's chance to finally stand out, so accidentally, on purpose, she tells a lie. Summary: Americans Jenny and her brother, Tom, are off to England: Tom to university, to dodge the Vietnam draft, Jenny to be the new girl at a boarding school, Illington Hall.
