Description
Milan, early 2000s. Fourteen-year-old Ettore arrives at a prestigious high school feeling lost and invisible. The city is bigger, louder, and more confusing than anything he has known.
Then he meets Giulio.
Confident, charismatic, and involved with a fringe neofascist group, Giulio offers friendship, purpose, and a sense of belonging. For Ettore, it's everything he's been searching for. But as curiosity turns to conviction, he finds himself drawn into a world of extremism from which there may be no easy return.
The Wrong Side is a sharp, unsettling coming-of-age novel about radicalization, loneliness, and the dangerous allure of certainty. It is the story of a boy looking for a place to belong—and finding the wrong one.
