Sue Eckstein - Old School Ties

(4.2 stars; 4 reviews)

Stand-up comedian Kit Nichols likes to satirize his boarding school experiences, but his past takes on a different light when he reads the obituary of an old school friend. Feeling guilty at having lost touch, Kit decides to confront the man he believes is responsible for his friend's unexpected death.

The annual magazine for a Catholic boarding school carries an obituary of a former pupil who was once Kit Nichols’s best friend. Now in his 40s and a successful stand-up comedian, Kit is driven by a mixture of guilt and the need for closure. He tracks down Brother Dominic, their former teacher, to uncover the truth about his friend’s death, leading them both to confront difficult questions about faith, loyalty, friendship, and the ethical issue of the right to die.
