Nickel Boys
In 1960s Florida, two Black teenagers find their lives irrevocably altered when they are sent to the Nickel Academy, a brutal reform school built on cruelty and injustice. As one clings to ideals and the other to pragmatic survival, their bond is tested by the relentless horrors of the institution. This powerful novel, inspired by a real place, offers a searing indictment of systemic racism and the enduring impact of buried truths, rendered with Colson Whitehead's signature grace and unflinching honesty.
