"Enter here to be and find a friend" is the motto of the Irving School, a prestigious private high school located in New York state. Duncan gets his room assignment for his senior year and is dismayed to discover that he has the worst room on the senior boys wing. Last year, it was occupied by Tim Macbeth, an albino transfer student, who was involved in something that Duncan would rather forget. Each senior is left a "treasure" by the student who lived in that room the year before. Tim has left Duncan a set of CDs on which he has left the story of what happened the spring before. Over the course of the year, Duncan listens to the CDs while juggling his school schedule, his love life and the ever looming "Tragedy Paper", the senior thesis required for graduation.
Interesting and somewhat suspenseful. With names like Macbeth and Duncan, I'm claiming Scottish fiction. Especially since I wasted my Maeve Binchy last month! :)
Duncan and MacBeth - Sounds good to me. 2 points! :)
