Reviews
"Restrepo triumphs in her depiction of toxic masculinity and the clash of social classes, and navigates her characters through a sensational crime without subscribing to stereotypes. This elegy for lost youth and innocence is a powerhouse." -- Publishers Weekly "A compelling story of how men who revel in misogyny and privilege can create a brutal darkness." -- Kirkus Reviews "The book eviscerates toxic masculinity and will elicit strong responses from readers. Powerful and award-winning, this is not one to be taken lightly." -- Ms. Magazine, "Restrepo triumphs in her depiction of toxic masculinity and the clash of social classes, and navigates her characters through a sensational crime without subscribing to stereotypes. This elegy for lost youth and innocence is a powerhouse." -- Publishers Weekly "A compelling story of how men who revel in misogyny and privilege can create a brutal darkness." -- Kirkus Reviews "The book eviscerates toxic masculinity and will elicit strong responses from readers. Powerful and award-winning, this is not one to be taken lightly." -- Ms. Magazine "This is a compelling story of toxic masculinity, entitlement born of privilege, and lost innocence." -- The Guardian " The Divine Boys explores the boundaries of friendship and loyalty, while examining the corruption privilege can cause in a body and mind." -- Bustle " The Divine Boys packs a lot of social commentary into its two hundred-odd pages, achieving through fiction and metaphor what weightier tomes often struggle to convey. Ms. Restrepo, through this deft translation by Carolina De Robertis, has written an account of murder, guilt, and culpability that's both lyrical and heart-wrenching." --Criminal Element, "Restrepo triumphs in her depiction of toxic masculinity and the clash of social classes, and navigates her characters through a sensational crime without subscribing to stereotypes. This elegy for lost youth and innocence is a powerhouse." -- Publishers Weekly "A compelling story of how men who revel in misogyny and privilege can create a brutal darkness." -- Kirkus Reviews
Synopsis
From acclaimed Colombian author Laura Restrepo comes a prize-winning novel inspired by a true crime that shattered a community and exposed the dark recesses of toxic masculinity and privilege. Immune to the consequences of immorality, five privileged young men in Bogot bond over a shared code: worship drugs and drink, exploit women, and scorn the underclass. As males, they declare the right to freedom of pleasure. As friends, only disloyalty to each other is forbidden. When a little girl from the slums disappears, the limits of a perverse and sacred bond will be tested in ways none of them could have imagined. Hauntingly true, this daringly told work of fiction explores the tragic dynamic between genders, social classes, and victim and victimizer, and between five men whose intolerable transgressions will shake the conscience of a country., From acclaimed Colombian author Laura Restrepo comes a prize-winning novel inspired by a true crime that shattered a community and exposed the dark recesses of toxic masculinity and privilege.

- n***d (49)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good. Thank you!!Tenko : Complete BBC Series Box Set [DVD] - DVD EQVG The Cheap Fast Free Post (#306002146201)
- r***d (273)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem in great condition 😁 SELLER communicated any time I had a question 😍 Good value 😊 packaged securely 🙂 Shipping said 7-14 days which is correct , would purchase again from rhis seller ... Thank You
- 6***t (479)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePurchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
