Hardback. Zustand: Good. Albert French lights up the monstrous face of American racism in this harrowing tale of ten-year-old Billy Lee Turner, who is convicted and executed for murdering a white girl in Banes County, Mississippi, in 1937.

The high-spirited Billy, his mysterious and passionate mother, Cinder, and his friend Gumpy are realized with depth and authority. Told in classic, unrelieved terms yet with remarkable compassion and restraint, their story is an unsentimental and ultimately heart-rending vision of racial injustice. A work of art . . . Billy never lets up, not for a minute . . . The images rush straight to your brain. . . . Magnificient.--Bill McKibben, New York Daily News Althought I only knew Billy Lee Turner for an all too brief 214 pages, I will mourn his death for the rest of my life. That's how powerfully and dramatically written this book is.--Claude Brown, author of Manchild in the Promised Land Billy's strength is not strictly as a novel; it lives as theater. It is a folk opera that . . . moves with unfaltering pace to its shattering climax.--New York Newsday.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When he was ten, Billy was kidnapped from his adoptive family by his father, a professional rodeo rider from New Mexico. Five and a half years later, just as suddenly, he was returned. A little over a year after this second upheaval, Billy seems to be adjusting to his new life, until his best freind from New Mexico kills himself. Traveling back for the funeral, Billy finds himself in a situation much like that of his freind: two fathers face to face, two sets of hopes and ambitions for his own future. And Billy must now cope not just with the death of his freind, but also with the realization that his own life is spiralling into the same abyss that took Bobby's life.…
