About this product

Product Information

WINNER OF THE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION'S YOUNG QUILLS AWARD 2017 Jack has left his native Ireland and is making a new life as Professor of Neurology at a university in the American South. He has certain skills, honed over his lifetime, that he mostly keeps hidden. Skills in hypnotism and mind control . . . Thirteen-year-old Pip is plucked out of an orphanage by a farmer, hired as a farm-hand, and as carer for the farmer's wife. But Pip is black. The farmer and his wife are white. And this is 1960s America, where race defines you and overshadows everything. As racial tensions reach boiling point with a danger closer to home and more terrifying than either thought possible, Jack and Pip's lives become inextricably linked. And Jack's hypnotic skills are called on as never before . . .

Reviews
"I was absolutely gripped: compelling storytelling with a powerful anti-racist message" - - The Bookseller, "Full of suspense and heartbreak, this is a powerful account of survival amid irrational, omnipresent hatred" - - Guardian, "The Hypnotist explores what it is to be kind, to be curious, to love and to express yourself - to be human, in other words - in the face of intense racial and sexual bigotry, cruelty and violence. It's a passionate, important novel" - - Amnesty International, "A compelling read . . . a wonderful blend of kitchen sink realism, accurate historical detail and an atmospheric dollop of magical realism . . . it draws you in from the first page and keeps your attention until the last" - - TheBookbag.co.uk, "The Hypnotist unfolds steadily and beautifully, ramping up the fear, tension and hope faced by young black men in 1960s America ... filled with heart and history that shocks and educates, but ultimately leaves you believing that, even in the most brutal and unstable environments, however alone you might think you are, there's still kindness to be discovered" - - Press Association, Children's Book of the Week, "This fascinating hybrid of paranormal and historical fiction follows Jack, an Irish neurologist with secret hypnotic skills and Pip, a young black farmhand. The pair's lives merge when Jack relocates to the American South and must face the realities of racial tension as well as come to terms with his own strange powers" - - Buzzfeed.com, 28 YA Books Everyone Should Read, "Portray[s] a stunningly accurate historical picture of the American South in the 60's. A fascinating tale told with confidence" - - Askeys & Holts Children's Newsletter, The Hypnotist explores what it is to be kind, to be curious, to love and to express yourself - to be human, in other words - in the face of intense racial and sexual bigotry, cruelty and violence. It's a passionate, important novel, "A highly impressive first novel by Laurence Anholt . . . every reader will be swept into this highly visual world and the drama that develops within it" - - Achuka, "A beautifully written story . . . it's hard to believe this is Anholt's first full-length novel . . . I can't wait to check out his next offering!" - - Scottish Book Trust

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
