The Nickel Boys is the latest novel from Colson Whitehead who won the Pulitzer Prize and the US National Book Award for his magnificent The Underground Railroad in 2017.
Below I've attached the back cover blurb because it describes the book exactly. It's a short, 208 page, powerful gem of a book, brilliantly written in clear, unadorned prose. It's about the power, tragedy and violence of racism, a critically important message for our times.
The surprise ending is just superb. It blew me away.
