Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, an inescapably gritty story about one young man whose direction in life takes a vastly different turn than what he expected.
It’s the tabloid sensation of the year: two well-known footballers standing in the dock, charged with sexual assault, a series of vile text messages pointing towards their guilt.
As the trial unfolds, Evan Keogh reflects on the events that have led him to this moment. Since leaving his island home, his life has been a lie on many levels. He’s a talented footballer who wanted to be an artist. A gay man in a sport that rejects diversity. A defendant whose knowledge of what took place on that fateful night threatens more than just his freedom or career.
The jury will deliver a verdict but, before they do, Evan must judge for himself whether the man he has become is the man he wanted to be.

Fantastic
Gripping from the start to finish. Did not want it to end. Can’t wait for next one in the series.

John Boyne is a genius
John Boyne has the gift of being able to capture the rawness of being alive. His writing buffeted me emotionally. I couldn’t stop listening.

Earth
John Boyne is a superb story teller. The narrator captivates you from the start and draws you in. Vaguely leading on from Water the first book but isn’t necessary to read that one first. Brilliant story. Excellent narrator.

Dark and compelling
I love John Boyne’s writing. This is the darkest thing I’ve read by him and it was compelling and addictive and horrifying. Characters were brilliant . I have read Earth too but you don’t need to in order to enjoy this book.

Love John Boyne
Another short novel from
the author. Clever plot, authentic characters - what’s not to like? Quite dark in places

Brilliant
An unflinchingly poignant portrayal of Evan and the painful and pain-inflicting journey through part of his twenties. Some beautifully observed state-of-nation and coming of age threads throughout. Writing is peak Boyne. I listened in one sitting, straight after Water.
