2. The New Boy

If you are longing for a new tribute to the great master of literature, William Shakespeare, now is the time to enjoy something brand new and original such as The New Boy, one of the latest novels released in 2018.
This magnificent work by Tracy Chevalier, has as the background an international project that is started in honor of the writer, the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the passing of Shakespeare.
The story takes place in America during the 70’s and relates a comphrensive account of the of the most diverse characters of the human race and a wide range of emotions among which discrimination and extreme racism play a decisive role.
That’s “The Boy”: A book that plays with the reader’s emotions and describes the last years of childhood of a young man looking for his own identity. To do this, the character delves into the most useless mechanisms, clichés and conventionalities of society, trying to achieve social recognition that never comes. A detailed account of what is now known as bullying, but set in an era that has little to do with the current 21st century.
This summer, The New Boy is the perfect choice if you are looking for quality reading material for your holiday.
