商品簡介
It’s 1922, and thirteen-year-old Woodrow Harper has moved with his widowed mother to his father’s hometown of Lawton, Oklahoma. He is befriended by his new next-door neighbor, a powerful state senator who becomes the father figure Woodrow always wanted, and who understands him in a way his own father never did. The senator introduces him to the “best” people in town, but Woodrow soon realizes that the “best” people have some terrible secrets, and to be accepted by them he must do terrible things. Winner of the 2010 Oklahoma Book Award for Best Young Adult Book, Night Fires is thought-provoking and compelling, bringing to life aspects of racism and prejudices that remain relevant today.
