Harry Hartog's review

John Boyne continues to impress with Earth, the second book in his Elements series. Told through courtroom drama and flashback, Earth is another powerful, tightly woven novella. It’s unsettling, thought-provoking and filled with moral dilemmas; how much is Evan responsible for what happened? Is justice ever truly fair? Boyne doesn’t offer easy answers, but he keeps you gripped until the last page. - Nathan, Harry Hartog Macquarie



Description

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.
