Rent Black Swan Green

Synopsis

Rich with period detail, this lyrical but unsentimental novel by the author of the critically acclaimed CLOUD ATLAS takes the reader back to 1982, and into the life of Jason Taylor, an introspective 13-year-old poet living in the small English town of Black Swan Green. The book chronicles his unwilling observation of his parents' souring relationship, his attempts to conceal his stammer, and his struggles to remain, if not popular, at least not utterly despised by the popular kids.
