Ness is looking out to sea, waiting for the arrival of Dev. It's been two years since the two set out in a dinghy,

coaxed back to health by Dev's people. Ness's new home, the city of Vidya, is in ruins; the air is unsafe, and the buildings scarred by fire. Towers loom empty and hollow. The community of Vidya is bravely building a new society and Ness yearns to find a place where she might belong.

God Boy order quantity

NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author: Ian Cross
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd

    ‘I’m a God boy, Sister,’ I said. ‘You don’t have to worry about me, I’m a God boy.’
Jimmy Sullivan believed he was protected by God until his parents’ unhappy marriage finally broke down, with tragic consequences. Now a disturbed thirteen-year-old at a Catholic boarding school, Jimmy rages at God for failing him as he tells of his own violent and obsessive reaction to the turbulent events of two years before. Through his uncomprehending and often humorous voice of tough indifference, a very adult drama of marital strife, drunkenness and illicit abortion emerges. Ian Cross vividly evokes life in a provincial New Zealand town in the 1950s, in his tale of the crippling of a bright and hopeful young mind.
