Opis

In The Wrong Boy, Willy Russell, creator of Shirley Valentine, Educating Rita and Blood Brothers, tells the unforgettable story of the ultimate outsider. Welcome to the heart-wrenching, ever-erring world of Raymond Marks, a normal boy from a normal town. Until, that is, in the wake of the Transvestite Nativity Play Scandal, the ill-fated
fly-trapping craze begins -- a craze that involves fifteen boys, a number of flies and an intimate part of the male anatomy -- after which, Raymond s world is never quite the same again.
Full of memorable characters and an utterly engrossing plot, The Wrong Boy is one of the funniest and most moving novels you will ever read."
