A review by badboibill
The End of Eddy by Édouard Louis

4.0

Extremely evocative story of a painful childhood - painful because of poverty and homophobia. But the moments of love and affection that poke through are just as striking. Quite similar to Shuggie Bain in terms of the “ambient violence” (borrowed description) present in the narrator’s working class upbringing.

Worth the read and as a warning the homophobia and racism are pretty unsettling.
