Description
The Boxer by Nikesh Shukla is a gripping novel told over the ten rounds of its protagonist's first fight. Sunny, a seventeen-year-old, joins a boxing club to learn self-defence after a racist attack, finding a sense of community and belonging among the members. However, as racial tensions rise in the city, Sunny faces a difficult decision that could tear him away from his new friends. As the story unfolds, Sunny's journey becomes one of self-discovery and growth, as he navigates the complexities of friendship, radicalisation, and finding his place in the world. With the help of his trainer Shobu, Sunny must confront the challenges ahead and make a choice that will determine the course of his life. This powerful and thought-provoking novel explores themes of identity, community, and social justice, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in stories about young people navigating complex issues.
