Their gaze marks a secret intimacy, one defined as much by violence as by friendship and desire. As the boys’ connection deepens, so too does the risk that surrounds it. Jean – son of a single mother, Jewish, on a scholarship, forever an outsider – wonders whether the relationship might offer a way out of a life marked by alienation. But what if the only true path to freedom is to disappear altogether?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpellbinding and evocative, Jean is a meditative narrative of loss and escape distilled into the heartrending story of an intense and dangerous adolescent love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRHD Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48563656327391,"sku":"9781917092722","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/9781917092722.jpg?v=1772616078","url":"https:\/\/lamplightbooks.co.nz\/products\/jean","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
