A high-school sex scandal jolts a group of teenage girls into a new awareness of their own potency. The sudden publicity seems to turn every act into a performance and every space into a stage. But when the local drama college decides to turn the scandal into a show, the real world and the world of the theatre are forced to meet, and soon the boundaries between private and public begin to dissolve... The Rehearsal is an exhilarating and provocative novel about the complications of human desire. Startlingly original, it is at once a tender portrait of its young protagonists and a shrewd exposé of emotional compromise. It marks the arrival of a boldly inventive and extraordinarily accomplished new voice in contemporary fiction.
