Pulitzer finalist Susan Choi's narrative-upending audiobook about what happens when a first love between high school students is interrupted by the attentions of a charismatic teacher.

Sarah und David gehören zu den Auserwählten, die an der Elite-Schauspielschule CAPA aufgenommen werden. Sarah stammt aus einfachen Verhältnissen, David aus reichem Elternhaus. Wie ihre Mitschüler:innen konkurrieren sie um die Sympathien ihres Lehrers Mr Kingsley, dem eigentlichen Star der Schule. Kingsley ist ein Charismatiker, der jeden Raum zum Leuchten bringt und dann durchschneidet wie eine Messerklinge. Selbst die Eltern haben keinen Einfluss darauf, was innerhalb der Schulmauern geschieht.

Both inventive and shocking, Trust Exercise has become a sensation for its timely insights into sex, power and the nature of abuse. Sarah and David are in love - the obsessive, uncertain love of teenagers on the edge of adulthood. At their performing arts school, the rules are made by their magnetic drama instructor Mr Kingsley, who initiates them into a dangerous game. Two decades on we learn that the real story of these teenagers' lives is even larger and darker than we imagined, and the consequences have lasted a lifetime.
