'Move over Ferrante, there's a new Elena in town' Independent
A gripping novel about family, loss and secrets, from the author of
The Times bestselling sensation Can You Hear Me?
The boy is almost eighteen and has a loving family. He's polite and
well-educated, quiet but always smiling.
When word spreads that he has broken into and stolen from a neighbour's
house, his parents and sisters can't believe it. Then the unthinkable
happens: an attack that will rip through the town and his family for
years to come.
Just a Boy is a gripping, incisive novel about secrets, adolescence
and how we can love someone - a child, a partner - without ever knowing
their mind.
Praise for The Times bestseller Can You Hear Me?
'A novel of crime and darkness that eschews straightforward domestic
noir' Guardian
