About this listen
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.

Another cracking John Boyne
Powerful & pacy, a cracking listen. No one tells a good story like John Boyne - I loved how this followed on from Water. Very well done.

How extraordinarily well written
Too many emotions to write about, but sadness for a life ruined by unkindness to start, and cruelty … this one will be hard to forget

An absolutely captivating story of devastation and ultimately satisfaction
Chris Boyne is truly a fantastic author, after rediscovering his work after boy in the striped pyjamas, I have fallen in love with his work all over again with his captivating and refreshing elemental series.

Wonderfully written & performed story by one of irelands finest authors.
Topical subject & one which is well told. Some oddities in the storyline of the book but altogether a good read/listen which delves deep into the main character.

Very engaging
Just loved it and the narrator was perfect. It’s an emotive story that captures the narrow mindedness of islanders

A poignant story
Despite his failings I did warm to Evan and I loved how the story weaved back and forth.
It was sad that he didn’t get to be what he wanted to be and how that impacted his life. John Boyne is my favourite author and continues to be.
