À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A “tender, beautiful and radiantly outraged” (The New York Times Book Review) novel that follows a year of seismic romantic, political, and familial shifts for a teacher and her students at a boarding school for the deaf, from the acclaimed author of Girl at War

“This important novel should—true biz—change minds and transform the conversation.”—Maile Meloy, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Booklist

True biz (adj./exclamation; American Sign Language): really, seriously, definitely, real-talk

True biz? The students at the River Valley School for the Deaf just want to hook up, pass their history finals, and have politicians, doctors, and their parents stop telling them what to do with their bodies. This revelatory novel plunges readers into the halls of a residential school for the deaf, where they’ll meet Charlie, a rebellious transfer student who’s never met another deaf person before; Austin, the school’s golden boy, whose world is rocked when his baby sister is born hearing; and February, the hearing headmistress, a CODA (child of deaf adult(s)) who is fighting to keep her school open and her marriage intact, but might not be able to do both. As a series of crises both personal and political threaten to unravel each of them, Charlie, Austin, and February find their lives inextricable from one another—and changed forever.

This is a story of sign language and lip-reading, disability and civil rights, isolation and injustice, first love and loss, and, above all, great persistence, daring, and joy. Absorbing and assured, idiosyncratic and relatable, this is an unforgettable journey into the Deaf community and a universal celebration of human connection.

Great listen and a totally new perspective on deaf culture was gained. In fact I would not have put deaf and culture next to each other before, but now I get it.

Loved it

Incredible story steeped with history. Author seamlessly and beautifully weaves in a multitude of characters and complex issues facing the deaf community. Narration also lovely and very easy to listen to ironically enough. As enjoyable as it is thought provoking- one of the best novels I’ve read in years

Wonderful novel

An overall great book that brings an intersectional, critical disability studies lens that is informative yet entertaining. My only complaint is that the ending seemed like an after thought like the book just kind of ended in a way that the story didn’t have closure, foreshadowing or anything. It kind of annoyed me in that sense because there’s so many directions they could’ve gone and yet they just ended the story by not ending the story

A truly gripping and moving story. I would say that if you want to have a view into the depth and beauty of Deaf culture, this book is a great, eye opening, start.

A vitally important story

I was recommended this book by a friend who teaches ASL. It was a perspective I've been super curious about and so glad I was able to be immersed in a new world. I think it is important for everyone to read and maybe work on some of those biases we all have.

Amazing book

Fantastic! A story that hooks you right from the start, with a gripping ending. Highly recommend for both Deaf and hearing. Great window into the Deaf experience and Deaf culture. Especially important to read if you don’t know much about the Deaf experience. Everyone should read this book.

An Absolute Must Read!

This book was very enjoyable to listen to. I am in the beginning stages of learning ASL and this book even give mini lessons between some chapters. It gives you a different insight, that’s for sure! You will not be disappointed with this book!

Fantastic Listen

I didn’t know much about the deaf community, their history, and how they have been abused and persecuted. This story was an eye-opener for me and written so well that I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. I felt that they performed the ASL portion of the book well by using different voices, cadence, and the exact words used to sign. The story was excellent and told from so many different perspectives which I found intriguing. It left me wondering, what would I do in that situation?

Educational, eye-opening, and a great story
