Délit d'initié

Cette série captivante explore les préjugés raciaux et l'inégalité sociale dans une réalité alternative où s'affrontent deux sociétés très différentes. La séparation forcée et les préjugés profondément ancrés compliquent la vie des personnages qui s'efforcent de surmonter des barrières apparemment insurmontables. Les récits sont remplis de tension et d'émotion, suivant de courageux protagonistes qui osent défier le statu quo et lutter pour la justice. C'est une exploration intemporelle de l'amour, de la perte et du désir d'un monde meilleur.

    Two young people are forced to make a stand in this thought-provoking look at racism and prejudice in an alternate society. Sephy is a Cross -- a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a Nought -- a “colourless” member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood, but that’s as far as it can go. In their world, Noughts and Crosses simply don’t mix. Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum -- a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger. Can they possibly find a way to be together? In this gripping, stimulating and totally absorbing novel, black and white are right and wrong.

    This thought-provoking and often provocative look at racism is a sequel to the award-winning Noughts & Crosses . Persephone (Sephy) Hadley, now an 18-year-old single parent, is raising her biracial daughter in a sharply divided alternate England, where black Crosses suppress the white Noughts. She faces pressure from both her less-than-understanding Cross family and her disintegrating Naught family, and everyone in between. When her brother-in-law's violent behavior leads to murder, Sephy provides a false alibi to save Jude, but doing so irreparably damages other lives.
