Such Good People

About the book

Such Good People by Amy Blumenfeld is a captivating and multi-dimensional must-read that combines a page-turning legal story with themes of social injustice, prejudice, and redemption, as well as an emotional character-driven tale of love, family, and lifelong friendship.

If you're a fan of Tayari Jones's An American Marriage, Rebecca Searles' In Five Years, and Allison Larkin's The People We Keep, you will devour Blumenfeld's latest triumph. Samantha Greene Woodruff, author of The Lobotomist’s Wife and The Trade Off, even says, ‘Such Good People is Such a Good Book!’

The story follows April, who, on a Thursday night in college, crosses paths with Rudy in a Manhattan bar. Their meeting changes their lives forever, leading to Rudy's arrest, April's expulsion, and Rudy's incarceration. However, April finds solace in Peter, a talented attorney who helps her rebuild her life.

Fifteen years later, April is happily married to Peter in Chicago, with three children and a successful career. When Rudy is up for parole, April faces a dilemma as her past is exposed, threatening everything she holds dear. Such Good People explores themes of blurred lines, divided loyalties, and the true meaning of love and sacrifice.
