The sequel to ‘Noughts and Crosses’ doesn’t fall short of the action and drama of the first! I loved ‘Noughts and Crosses’ with its tangled web of relationships and race issues and this one offers even more. The shocking ending of the first book is matched by an even more disturbing ending to the second. I literally cannot wait to read the third!‘Knife Edge’ is written in a combination of voices; Sephy (a 'cross'), Jude (an inferior 'nought') and Jude’s mum. Sephy has had Callum’s baby against everyone’s wishes. She is a 'cross', living in a 'nought' ladies' house, when she falsely learns that Callum, the love of her life who died for her, did not even love her. This story is the struggle of a young girl to bring up her child, single-handedly, against all odds in a society which hates her simply for bringing a mixed race child into their segregated world.
A must read!!!
