Présentation de l'éditeur

The stunning first novel from award-winning poet Cyril Wong, The Last Lesson of Mrs de Souza is an exceptional examination of the power of choice and the unreliability of memory. One last time and on her birthday, Rose de Souza is returning to school to give a final lesson to her classroom of secondary school boys before retiring from her long teaching career. What ensues is an unexpected confession in which she recounts the tragic and traumatic story of Amir, a student from her past who overturned the way she saw herself as a teacher, and changed her life forever.
