New boy
Edité par Hogarth - paru en 2017
Arriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomat?s son Osei Kokote knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day ? so he?s lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can?t stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players ? teachers and pupils alike ? will never be the same again. The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s? suburban Washington schoolyard, where kids fall in and out of love with each other before lunchtime, and practise a casual racism picked up from their parents and teachers. Watching over the shoulders of four 11-year-olds ? Osei, Dee, Ian and his reluctant girlfriend Mimi ? Tracy Chevalier's powerful drama of friends torn apart by jealousy, bullying and betrayal will leave you reeling.
