À propos de cet audio

 A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • A powerful coming-of-age story about grief, guilt, and the risks a Filipino-American teenager takes to uncover the truth about his cousin's murder.

A Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of the Century

"Brilliant, honest, and equal parts heartbreaking and soul-healing." --Laurie Halse Anderson, author of SHOUT

"A singular voice in the world of literature." --Jason Reynolds, author of Long Way Down

Jay Reguero plans to spend the last semester of his senior year playing video games before heading to the University of Michigan in the fall. But when he discovers that his Filipino cousin Jun was murdered as part of President Duterte's war on drugs, and no one in the family wants to talk about what happened, Jay travels to the Philippines to find out the real story.

Hoping to uncover more about Jun and the events that led to his death, Jay is forced to reckon with the many sides of his cousin before he can face the whole horrible truth -- and the part he played in it.

As gripping as it is lyrical, Patron Saints of Nothing is a page-turning portrayal of the struggle to reconcile faith, family, and immigrant identity. Famille Famille et relations Littérature Romans policiers et thrillers Fiction Suspense Crime

Enticing story

This is a fantastic book that I will be thinking about for a while. It has a way of making me stop and actually think about privilege and perspective in a way that didn’t feel in-your-face

Absolutely excellent

There were a lot of really good things about this novel, including the characters, the setting, and the obvious emotion that went into writing it. I fully connected to our main character, even though we don't share any similarities, which is a true testament to Ribay's writing ability.

A beautiful, powerful story about learning about yourself, your heritage, and the past to move forward into the present and the future. It explored themes of guilt and family in a way that I rarely see in fiction, especially Young Adult fiction. I was enthralled in this story once I got into it (about 15%). I thought it was truly incredible - and it evoked so many emotions, especially the ending.

It intertwined the political atmosphere so flawlessly and I appreciated those details mixed in with the understanding of how that impacts a family. I have mixed feelings about whether the way that Jun's murder happened was justified in the context of the story, but I did think that it worked in the moment.

This is an important book that showcases the life of an immigrant, especially one trying to find their way in their own culture, while highlighting the political aspects of the war on drugs in the Philippines. I appreciated learning from a perspective of impact and "victimhood" to see what people perceive to be the issue for themselves.

However, I thought that the quasi-romance was squished in there (and unnecessary) and that the beginning was a little too slow for my liking, which is why I'm only rating this one four stars. It felt like the "romance" was an afterthought and something put into the story because it would appeal to the reader, but it just felt forced.

I really enjoyed this one. I loved reading it and I definitely cried at the end which means that overall I highly recommend it!

Highly Recommend!
