After the success of his first novel The Unfortunate , published in 2006, much was expected of Wesley Stace . Having shown previously imaginative novelist, he proves Boys he kept his sacred fire and an excellent sense of intrigue. In this story, there are two George Fisher. One is a youth of twelve years, a descendant of a family of entertainers and the other is a ventriloquist's puppet - a "boy " - that belonged to his grandfather.
While the first tells us about his family and his schooling chaotic boarding (we are in 1973), the second also gives us his view of Fisher and his relationship with Joe, his partner in ambitions too staggered to his mother, a famous ventriloquist. Even if they have never met, stories of both George are interrelated and will be more and more.
be found in the writing of Wesley Stace a very strong narrative Anglo-Saxon, who snaps up without too much drag. The alternating narratives of two George, the very idea of ventriloquism and voice given to the puppet - not so innocent witness to the lives of others - all this gives a density fascinating to all.
