In the heart of a small Missouri town, Ruth Hoch has landed the role of a lifetime: Joan of Arc in the local community theater's production of Saint Joan. But when her employer, the powerful owner of the town's cheese factory, is killed in what everyone calls a hunting accident, Ruth can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong.
As she digs deeper, she finds a community more comfortable with comfortable lies than with dangerous truth. Neighbors close ranks. Secrets multiply. And Ruth, like the saint she's been cast to play, must decide how far she's willing to go for what she knows is right.
Winner of the American Theater Critics Association Award for Best New Play, Book of Days is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson at the height of his powers. a razor-sharp, deeply American thriller that weaves murder mystery, community drama, and moral reckoning into a single unforgettable evening.
