Description
In Jack, A.M. Homes gives us a teenager who wants nothing more than to be normal, even if being normal means having divorced parent sand a rather strange best friend. But when Jack s father takes him out in a rowboat on Lake Watchmayoyo and tells his son he's gay, nothing will ever be normal again. Out of Jack's struggle to redefine what family means, A.M. Homes crafts a novel of enormous humour, charm, and resonance, the most convincing, funny, and insightful novel about adolescence since The Catcher In the Rye.
