The Body in Question Book Reviews
The Body in Question by Jill Ciment Book Summary
*** NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR ***
From the author of Heroic Measures (“Smart and funny and completely surprising . . . I loved every page” —Ann Patchett), Act of God (“A feat of literary magic”—Booklist) and, with Amy Hempel, The Hand That Feeds You (“An unnerving, elegant page-turner” —Vanity Fair), a spare, masterful novel.
The place: central Florida. The situation: a sensational murder trial, set in a courthouse more Soviet than Le Corbusier; a rich, white teenage girl—a twin—on trial for murdering her toddler brother.
Two of the jurors: Hannah, a married fifty-two-year-old former Rolling Stone and Interview Magazine photographer of rock stars and socialites (she began to photograph animals when she realized she saw people “as a species”), and Graham, a forty-one-year-old anatomy professor. Both are sequestered (she, juror C-2; he, F-17) along with the other jurors at the Econo Lodge off I-75. As the shocking and numbing details of the crime are revealed during a string of days and courtroom hours, and the nights play out in a series of court-financed meals at Outback Steak House (the state isn’t paying for their drinks) and Red Lobster, Hannah and Graham fall into a furtive affair, keeping their oath as jurors never to discuss the trial. During deliberations the lovers learn that they are on opposing sides of the case. Suddenly they look at one another through an altogether different lens, as things become more complicated . . .
After the verdict, Hannah returns home to her much older husband, but the case ignites once again and Hannah’s “one last dalliance before she is too old” takes on profoundly personal and moral consequences as The Body in Question moves to its affecting, powerful, and surprising conclusion.

Strange and splendid. This disturbing but engrossing psychological novel is a true page turner.
The body in question. Very interesting story. Pareciera que la historia será la de un delito cometido por una enferma mental, en cambio es una historia sobre la negligencia de los jurados en los Estados Unidos, esta gente que es gente de diferentes extractos sociales no tiene ni siquiera el lenguaje jurídico para entender lo que el juez, el “defendant”, el “prosecutor” hacen y dicen. Dejando a parte las distracciones que acontecen durante todo el proceso, incluido el hacerse de un amante. Las otras historias que surgen, que es la vida normal de uno de los jurados, nos hace ver como la vida sigue su curso, que el proceso es solo un paréntesis, pareciera de diversión, en la vida de esta gente. Muy interesante. Se lee rápido.
