Acerca de este título
An astute and tender portrayal of first love, adolescent anxiety and the realities of growing up in a small town where tradition holds people tightly in its grasp.
It's the early 1990s, and in the Irish village of Crossmore, Lucy feels out of place. Despite her fierce friendships, she's always felt this way, and the conventional path of marriage and motherhood doesn't appeal to her at all. Not even with handsome and doting Martin, her closest childhood friend. Lucy begins to make sense of herself during a long hot summer, when a spark with her school friend Susannah escalates to an all-consuming infatuation, and, very quickly, to a desperate and devastating love.
Fearful of rejection from her small and conservative community, Lucy begins living a double life, hiding the most honest parts of herself in stolen moments with Susannah. But with the end of school and the opportunity to leave Crossmore looming, Lucy must choose between two places, two people and two futures, each as terrifying as the other. Neither will be easy, but only one will offer her happiness.
An Evening Standard ‘One to Watch in 2023'
©2023 Chloe Michelle Howarth (P)2023 W. F. Howes LtdIt's full of yearning.
For the first time, I have seen me I another girl. Lucy is not perfect. She is cruel, but she regrets being it. So she is forgiven.
I think Martin is the love of my life. A part of me wishes that this book were about Lucy and Martin as a couple. Martin was so great, he didn't deserve what he got. It's surprising how he reacted. That made him even more perfect.
But if Martin were the love interest, I probably wouldn't have liked Lucy as much as I liked her.
Her being madly in love with Susannah is what made her so complicated and profound.
And also, the audiobook made me feel like I was listening to the very Lucy herself.
The way of suffering and still making through it.
