About this ebook
In Timothy Murphy's Getting Off Clean, the one thing that Eric Fitzpatrick wants is to escape--both from his family and the racially tense town in which he lives. The only son of an Italian-Irish family in a working class suburb of Boston, he intends to go away to college and leave his old life far behind. But all his plans are set askew when he meets Brooks, a mysterious, wealthy, black student at a local prep school. As their relationship grows ever deeper and more complicated, Eric must come to terms not only with his family and community, but with his warring ambitions and desires.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Eighteen year old Eric Fitzpatrick is in his last year of High School, he's a bright boy destined for Yale, the first the school has had in many years. However he is not what you would call the most popular boy in the school, and has had to weather some taunting in the past; but he has two close friends, Phoebe and Charlie, equally outcasts. Yet Eric has a lot going for him, he is mature and responsible and causes his family no worries.As Eric relates his last year of school he commence, September 1986, with his first encounter with Brookes, a slim black boy a year older who attends St Banner Academy, an expensive school in Mendhem, near Boston, where Eric lives. Brookes is wealthy and due to inherit a fortune, and his manner seems patronising and mocking; yet the two boys gradually become acquainted, and the relationship soon becomes physically intimate. Eric describes their secret encounters, and at the same time describes the traumatic events West Mendhem experiences that year and also involves us in the turmoil in his own family life: his reserved father, organising mother, ailing grandmother, and his wayward older sister and lovable Down's syndrome younger sister. One cannot help but like Eric, among his most appealing attributes is his ability to describe his talents and achievements without coming across in any way as arrogant, on the contrary he he frequently counters his success self-effacingly putting them into context.The relationship that develops between the two boys is beautifully told, seemingly completely mismatched they yet become remarkably close; but where will it al lead, and will there relationship become known and spell disaster for Eric? The near comic/tragic yet positive outcome is very well conceived.I thoroughly enjoyed Getting Off Clean, it is very well written, involving, at times funny and ultimately very moving.
