She wrote a book a borrowed from the library at Marine Parade, entitled “After”. SImply said, it is a story of how a shooting taking place 80km from our main character’s (Tom) school affected their lives. 80km is about the distance from Woodlands to Batu Pahat in Malaysia. A grief and guidance counsellor is hired. He creates more and more rules and they are harshly enforced. Both pupils and teachers started to disappear even in the slightest break of the new rules. Rules such as no red clothes and random drug testing in sports CCAs are gripping the school in the vice of the counsellor as the principal suddenly “retires”. What happens in the end?
Well the book is very interesting and I reccomend it to all of you. Now here are my 5 facts about Francine Prose:
1. Her name has the word “Prose”, which means a short writing without structure.
2. One of her novels has been turned into flim: Household Saints, 1993
3. She wrote 25 books already.
4. Born in 1947 in Brooklyn, New York
5. Some of her books have a Jewish background such as: Dybbuk: A story made in Heaven , Stories from Our Living Past and Judas: The Pious
If there is anything wrong, or you feel that it is not good enough a fact, leave a comment and I will try to change it (try to tell me more about her too, all talk and no doing is useless!)
