Our Beautiful Boys (Sameer Pandya)

Revelling in the triumph of a high school football win, MJ, Vikram and Diego find themselves at an ill-fated party, and in the space of one disastrous evening the futures of the three teenage "all stars" are thrown in the balance. As their families gather to assess the damage, each parent is confronted with their own inner turmoil, reacting, judging and finally confronting the crisis at hand.
Our Beautiful Boys is a page-turning and incisive novel about masculinity, race, education and privilege, and the conflict that arises when all these collide. It asks the question that every parent has, at one time or another, contended with: how well can you ever truly know your own child?
