Nick Sturley will be writing his second major novel called Innocents of Oppression and will be published by Leicester based publisher Action Deafness Books in the autumn of 2012.

It is a coming of age story about a close friendship between two adolescent Deaf boys in an English oral boarding school.

Powerful, poignant and eminently controversial, Innocents of Oppression will take the reader through the 1970s' – and beyond – deaf education experience that will integrate various real-life accounts and experiences of those who were in Deaf education as well as other thought-provoking issues and nostalgic aspects.

Steve Crump of Action Deafness Books describes Innocents of Oppression’ ias a story that will transport you to a different place and time. It will provoke and inspire. It’s an amazing window into the lives of the countless number of profoundly deaf children who were schooled in the oral tradition.
