Boy A

More about the book

Jack is an institutionalized young man, utterly innocent of the world, yet guilty of a monstrous childhood crime. The effect on him and those around him of media-manipulated hysteria is perfectly captured in this devastating indictment of society's attempt to rehabilitate child criminals. Jonathan Trigell was born in 1974 and lived in Manchester before moving in 2002 to the French Alps, where he works as a holiday representative and ski instructor.
