**Spoilers**An engaging novel tackling many subjects and themes, Stephen L. Carter’s New England White heads directly into the storm that is masked northern liberal racism. The setting is as important as the characters. It is months after Lemaster Carlyle has left his job at the White House to become the president of the university where his wife, Julia, is an assistant dean in the divinity school. Returning from an evening out, in the midst of a snowstorm, distracted, Lemaster veers off the road into an embankment where the couple discovers the dead body of a colleague from the university and a former lover of Julia’s.
