OLDER FICTION
Gavin, Jamila

Coram Boy

(4) YA Meshak is an awkward, simple-minded boy of fourteen; Alexander is a musical genius whose father forbids music; Melissa is the beautiful daughter of a governess. Their lives connect as they encounter a world of murder, slavery, child abuse, despair, and redemption. Gavin creates a large cast of somewhat stereotypical characters to tell this intriguing, if melodramatic, tale.
