Description

Entre un père violent et une mère alcoolique, la vie de Nico est intolérable. Une seule issue : fuir. Fuir avec Gemma, son amie, qui le suit comme par défi. Mais que faire, à quatorze ans, sans ressources, dans les rues d'une grande ville ? Les deux adolescents rejoignent un squat et, très vite, sont pris dans l'engrenage de la drogue... Le jour où ils acceptent de l'héroïne, ils deviennent, sans en être encore conscients, des junkies. Dans ce roman encensé par la critique internationale, Melvin Burgess dépeint avec un réalisme saisissant, sans complaisance ni moralisme, les facettes d'un drame contemporain. Une lecture bouleversante et essentielle, car "il est préférable que les jeunes n'entendent pas parler de la drogue pour la première fois le jour où quelqu'un essaiera de leur en vendre.".
