Publisher's Summary

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.

Voice performance was outstanding

Written and performed as if it were an intimate conversation. First person narrative and setting of the scene and progression of the story was flawless. I made excuses to drive or walker further than I needed to go to keep listening. Highly recommend.

Insightful

I like John Boyne’s ability to articulate the experiences that shape and motivate us and his sympathy for his characters even when they are behaving badly. I particularly like that he seems to understand the attitudes and behaviours which affect women negatively. Earth has an absorbing story reflecting today’s issues.
