Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Truants by Kate Weinberg, read by Olivia Dowd.
People disappear when they most want to be seen. Jess Walker, middle child of a middle class family, has perfected the art of vanishing in plain sight.
But when she arrives at a concrete university campus under flat, grey East Anglian skies, her world flares with colour.
Drawn into a tightly knit group of rule breakers - led by their maverick teacher, Lorna Clay - Jess begins to experiment with a new version of herself. But the dynamic between the friends begins to darken as they share secrets, lovers and finally a tragedy. Soon Jess is thrown up against the question she fears most: what is the true cost of an extraordinary life?
Critic Reviews
"Set to be the book of the summer." (Town & Country)
"There are more than a few nods to Donna Tartt’s The Secret History here - the band of student misfits with dysfunctional backgrounds, the professor with oddly intimate student-teacher bonds, plus an overall sense, skilfully seeded by Weinberg, that things are about to take a wrong turn. Threaded into the story are references to Agatha Christie’s novels, with their mysteries and murders and love triangles. The Truants borrows some of these murder mystery tropes, leading us to a dark conclusion that feels satisfying to reach." (Evening Standard)
