From the publisher
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY COLIN WALSH, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF KALA 'A compelling narrative, a beautifully structured piece of writing, and a thought-provoking novel of ideas' Sarah Waters His new name is Jack. To his new friends, he is a good guy with occasional flashes of unexpected violence. To his new girlfriend, he is strangely inexperienced and unreachable. To his case worker, he's a victim of the system and of media-driven hysteria. And to himself, Jack is on permanent trial: most of his life has been spent in juvenile institutions, guilty of a monstrous childhood crime. Searing and heartfelt, Boy A is a devastating exploration of guilt, retribution and the blurred lines between fact and fabrication. Reader reviews: 'Feels more relevant than ever. Some books fade after reading; this one didn't' 'Powerful, gripping and hard-hitting. Very highly recommended' 'By far the most moving book I have ever read'
