This crime

Where did you find this photo? A boy in our class died, yes, I know. Jonah is dead. A face, a teenager in a second class photo. He is dead, killed following a prank gone wrong. A few years later, a student goes to meet some of her former classmates. The reader discovers little by little the sequence of events, and how it influenced everyone's life. Everyone has a wound. Some were able to recover, others not. The deep humanity that emerges from this text will not leave anyone insensitive. We realize when reading this novel in the original form, that it can happen anywhere to anyone. The border between a drama that marks you forever and one that could have been avoided is extremely thin. A text that allows us to address the different points of view of the protagonists and to discuss a difficult theme: that of violence in the school environment.
