Set in an international high school in Paris YOU DESERVE NOTHING is told in three voices: that of Will a charismatic young teacher who brings ideas alive in the classroom in a way that profoundly affects his students; Gilad one of Wills students who has grown up behind compound walls in places like Dakar and Dubai and for whom Paris and Wills senior seminar are the first heady tastes of freedom; and Marie the beautiful vulnerable senior with whom unbeknowst to Gilad Will is having an illicit affair. Utterly compelling brilliantly written YOU DESERVE NOTHING is a captivating tale about teachers and students of moral uncertainties and the coming of adulthood. It heralds the arrival of a brilliant new voice in fiction.
