Book Information

Set in an international high school in Paris, You Deserve Nothing is told in three voices. Will, a charismatic young teacher brings ideas alive in the classroom in a way that profoundly affects his students; Gilad, one of Will's students has grown up behind compound walls in places like Dakar, Paris and Will's senior seminars are his first heady tastes of freedom; and Marie, a beautiful, vulnerable senior with whom, unbeknownst to Gilad, Will is having an illicit affair. Utterly compelling, brilliantly written, this is a captivating tale about teachers and students, of moral uncertainties and the coming of adulthood.
