They drew a Star of David on his forehead. And that was just another day at school. Set against the brutal corridors of 1970s England, The Hate Game: Screaming in the Silence is a raw, darkly funny memoir of trauma, resilience, and reluctant transformation. Gary Trew didn't grow up in a warzone, but Knoll Boys School came close. There, violence was routine, bullying was institutional, and anti-Semitic torment was just part of the curriculum. Teachers turned a blind eye. Survival meant silence.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut beyond the school gates? Chaos, contradictions-and love. A scripture-quoting mother with a flair for curses. A pipe-smoking father who barely spoke but never stopped caring. A house full of odd rituals, awkward hugs, and flashes of humour in the darkness.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTold with searing honesty and wicked wit, The Hate Game is more than a memoir of abuse-it's a story of defiance, emotional survival, and growing up working-class in a country that didn't care.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you loved Educated, A Child Called \"It\", Angela's Ashes, or The Glass Castle, prepare to meet a voice you won't forget.","brand":"Gary Trew","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53423637528918,"sku":"9781738245413-V","price":8.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781738245413_1.jpg?v=1778151345","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/gary-trew-the-hate-game-9781738245413","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
