Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Blackman's absorbing but alarming novel deals with themes of racism and prejudice . . . Unforgettable" (Independent)

"Stimulating and emotionally satisfying" (Financial Times)

"A gritty read for older children . . . At times this is a beautiful love story; at other times it is a harrowing and moral tale..." (Bookseller)

"Packs some powerful political punches...But Blackman never compromises the story, which is dramatic, moving and brave" (Guardian)

"Inter-racial teenage love has never been more painful" (Amanda Craig The Times)

Reseña del editor:

Sephy is a Cross - a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a nought - a 'colourless' member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses.

The two have been friends since early childhood. But that's as far as it can go. Against a background of prejudice, distrust and mounting terrorist violence, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum - a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger . . .
