July Book of the Month: Earth by John Boyne
Two Irish football superstars find themselves in court facing sexual assault charges.
Robbie is cocky, entitled, privileged; Evan, reserved, self-made, escaping a poor and difficult upbringing. All evidence points to their guilt. As the case is heard and the jury deliberate, Evan reflects on the actions that led to the night in question and begins, for the first time, to examine his choices and his responsibilities. The truth threatens to risk far more than his freedom.
Absorbing, complex & thought provoking.
