About this title

Synopsis

When Lounès is suspended from school a sequence of events changes his life. Innocently caught up in a heroin deal that turns ugly, the young man faces a media-fed storm of prejudice and protest. Writing with the tautness and tension of a thriller, Rachedi observes as his young hero inspires and unites otherwise isolated suburban residents, with surprising results.

About the Author

Born in 1976, Mabrouck Rachedi lives in Paris. With an MA in economics, he became a stockbroker before devoting himself to writing. Inspired by the philosopher Lao-tzu, Le poids d’une ame was Rachedi’s first novel and was written just before the suburban Paris uprisings of 2005.
