Subject: [CASL-L] Book: The History of Jane Doe


I have to plug Mike Belanger's debut novel, The History of Jane Doe. I just finished it. It is timely, relevant and beautifully written. Framed much like John Green's Looking for Alaska, the novel switches back and forth from before to after "the event". While you very quickly discover the "What?" (all you need to do is read the dust jacket),  it is the "How?" that pulls you through the story. This makes the story oddly suspenseful and, of course, sad. The surprise kick is its humor. It is a very funny book. I am plugging it because it is a great book. For full disclosure, I will add that Mike graduated from New Canaan High School in 2004. Mike went on to become a social studies teacher at Greenwich High School. It is a real treat to see his book published, and it was truly a pleasure to read it - regardless of Mike's alumnus status.
