Description
An alchemical work that blends truth and art into a heady, addictive brew - Atlantic
Sarah and David are in love - the obsessive, uncertain love of teenagers on the edge of adulthood. They have just started their first term at a performing arts school, where the rules are made by their magnetic drama instructor. Enclosing his students in a rarefied bubble where performance is everything, Mr Kingsley initiates them into a dangerous game that blurs the boundary between teacher and students.
Two decades on, we learn that what we were told about these teenagers' lives is not completely true, but not completely false either. The real story surrounding Sarah, David, and their fellow students is larger and darker than we imagined, and the consequences have lasted a lifetime.
Trust Exercise is an enthralling, captivating novel about how we define consent and what we lose, gain, and never get over as we navigate our way into adulthood.
