Relatos - Yuki - El lado equivocado - GCSE Reader

Yuki, a spirited but innocent Japanese student, arrives in rural Spain excited to immerse herself in the Spanish way of life. She is quickly bewitched by the passion and excitement of the local culture but soon learns that beneath the colourful Iberian flair, there are secrets that threaten to tear apart this charming community. Befriending a group of local gitanos, she is immediately swept up in their youthful exuberance but later learns that not everyone shares her enthusiasm for these youngsters and that passion can, at times, boil over into hostility. Can Yuki uncover the secrets that divide the town? Will her efforts to bring the residents together bring peace or bloodshed? El Lado Equivocado is a story about the excitement of experiencing a foreign culture, about broken relationships and social exclusion, and about the incredible healing power of music. Written for, and with input from, GCSE students, El Lado Equivocado, is the ideal accompaniment to the GCSE course.
