The End Of Eddy Av Édouard Louis

<p><b>‘A brilliant novel… courageous, necessary and deeply touching’ <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>Édouard Louis grew up in a village in northern France where many live below the poverty line. His bestselling debut novel about life there, <i>The End of Eddy</i>, has sparked debate on social inequality, sexuality and violence.<br><br>It is an extraordinary portrait of escaping from an unbearable childhood, inspired by the author’s own. Written with an openness and compassionate intelligence, ultimately, it asks, how can we create our own freedom?<br><br>‘A mesmerising story about difference and adolescence’<br> <i>New York Times</i><br><br>‘Édouard Louis…is that relatively rare thing – a novelist with something to say and a willingness to say it, without holding back’<br> <i>The Times</i><br><br>‘Louis’ book has become the subject of political discussion in a way that novels rarely do’<br> Garth Greenwell, <i>New Yorker</i></p>
