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.

Kritikerstimmen

Compelling... a potent portrait of a flawed young man
A strong set-up, and with the masterly Boyne at the helm, the tension never lets up
Utterly compelling… powerful and disturbing
New and ambitious… packed with big ideas, moral questions and social commentary

Enjoyed "Water" but this one not so much. Quite surprised by the lack of plausibility and character depth and by the cliched ending.

Morality tale of sorts
