  • "Ambientada en Inglaterra en los anos cincuenta, esta novela parcialmente autobiografica sigue a Thomas Penman, un nino de 13 anos que vive en un pueblecito en Kent y que esta obsesionado con todas las excreciones de su cuerpo. La vida en su casa y escuela no es facil, y solo su abuelo Walter, un veterano de la Primera Guerra Mundial que colecciona revistas pornograficas y se comunica mediante el codigo Morse, parece entenderle. Enfocandose sobre la relacion entre Thomas y Walter, quien se esta muriendo de cancer, esta novela usa una familia disfuncional para enmarcar temas universales importantes tales como Dios y la fe, la pubertad y la juventud, el amor y el sexo, el odio y el resentimiento y la vida y la muerte."
  • "Het leven van de 13-jarige Thomas verandert volkomen wanneer hij voor het eerst verliefd wordt en hij het geheim van zijn leven ontdekt. Vanaf ca. 14 jaar."
  • "Set in England during the 1950s, this semiautobiographical novel follows 13-year-old Thomas Penman, a boy who lives in a small town in Kent and who is obsessed with all of his bodily excretions. Life at home and at school isn't easy, and only his grandfather Walter, a World War I veteran who collects pornographic magazines and communicates in Morse code, seems to understand him. Focusing on the relationship between Thomas and Walter, who is slowly dying of cancer, this novel features a dysfunctional family as the backdrop for important universal themes such as God and faith, puberty and coming-of-age, love and sex, hatred and bitterness, and life and death."
  • "Het leven van een puber verandert volkomen wanneer hij voor het eerst verliefd wordt en hij het geheim van zijn leven ontdekt."
