Sinopsis

In "Bonnie Prince Fetlar," Marshall Saunders weaves a captivating narrative set against the lush backdrop of the Shetland Islands, intertwined with rich historical context and vibrant local culture. The novel is presented in a blend of lyrical prose and regional dialects, creating an authentic voice that brings the characters and their experiences to life. Saunders deftly explores themes of identity, heritage, and the complexities of loyalty as his characters navigate personal aspirations versus communal expectations during a time of social upheaval. Marshall Saunders, a prolific Canadian author and advocate for social justice, drew upon his deep-seated interest in Scotland's cultural history and the plight of its people to craft this poignant tale. His own Scottish heritage, along with his experiences as an activist, informs his writing, allowing him to delicately balance narrative ingenuity with significant social commentary. Thus, "Bonnie Prince Fetlar" emerges not just as a local saga, but as a reflection of broader human experiences in the quest for self-identity and societal belonging. This evocative novel is highly recommended for readers with an interest in historical fiction infused with rich cultural insights. Fans of character-driven tales that delve into the human condition will find themselves engrossed in Saunders' well-crafted world. "Bonnie Prince Fetlar" is a masterful exploration of love, loss, and loyalty that resonates well beyond its local setting.

    From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews
