The Boy – Hoperoad

5 februari 2020

A gripping psychological thriller about parenthood and loss, bullying and revenge. Kito is the only child of his adoptive parents. Chubby and dark-skinned, he is ruthlessly bullied at school, but at home he says nothing of what he is going through, only that he has pains in his stomach.  After a class outing to the beach, Kito goes missing. Days later his lifeless body is discovered washed up on the sand.

Determined to find the person responsible for Kito’s death, his mother follows the trail to drama teacher Hannah, who was in charge of overseeing the field trip that day. By this time Hannah has begun a new life in the Bulgarian countryside, and unsuspectingly welcomes Kito’s mother. As the snow begins to fall the two women become entangled in a claustrophobic relationship, trust between them grows and Hannah hesitantly begins to tell the story of Kito. But Kito’s mother has only one thing on her mind, revenge…

‘A powerful and convincing study of how the real victims of death are often the living left behind‘. Irish Times

Translated from Dutch by Sarah Welling Order
