Dieses Buch hat mich die meiste Zeit über  wütend gemacht. Von  sexistischen Aussagen bis hin zu problematischen Erziehungsmethoden ist alles dabei. Man muss die Werke zwar im Kontext ihrer Zeit betrachten, jedoch ist zu kritisieren, dass Stereotype und diskriminierende Inhalte reproduziert werden. 
Das Drama ließ sich insgesamt schnell lesen, da die Spannung gehalten wurde. Aber auch das liegt daran, dass  Dinge, die mit den Figuren passieren, aus den unzumutbaren Lebensumständen resultieren.
Ich konnte der Geschichte nichtsdestotrotz etwas abgewinnen. Der Stil hat mich rein sprachlich überzeugt und die behandelte Gesellschaftskritik ist sehr nachhaltig vermittelt worden. Bei dem Gedanken daran, dass Werke wie diese mit Schüler*innen gelesen werden, bekommen ich dennoch etwas Bauchweh. Es erfordert sehr viel Zeit, Nervengold und Arbeit, um den Stoff vermitteln zu können und dabei sensibel ein Bewusstsein für all die Probleme zu schaffen. Mehr Arbeit und Zeit, als oft zur Verfügung steht.

dark emotional hopeful sad fast-paced

The famous fin-de-siècle children’s tragedy, remixed to take place in modern Britain. As it turns out, giving kids smartphones actually diminishes the tragedy of their bad decisions.

“HANS: Maybe in thirty years we’ll look back on this and it’ll seem stupid. But it’s beautiful now actually isn’t it. It’s all beautiful now” (73)
