| book description |
'Dark, timely and thought-provoking. It's a must-read' THE SUN 'Visceral and raw. Buy it' GLAMOUR 'Reminiscent of HBO's hit The White Lotus... The obvious read-alike is My Dark Vanessa' BOOKLIST 'Packs an incredible punch' THE TIMES 'It's set to be a big summer hit' The Independent An idyllic island. An all-consuming romance. The best summer of your life . . . But what if everything you remember was a lie? ********** Rachel has loved Alistair since she was seventeen. Even though she hasn't seen him for sixteen years and she's now married to someone else. Even though she was a teenager when they met. Even though he is almost twenty years older than her. Now in her thirties, Rachel has never been able to forget their golden summer together on a remote, sun-trapped Greek island. But as dark and deeply suppressed memories rise to the surface, Rachel begins to understand that Alistair - and the enigmatic, wealthy man he worked for - controlled much more than she ever realized. Rachel has never once considered herself a victim - until now. ********** For fans of GIRL A, MY DARK VANESSA and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, The Girls of Summer is a bold compulsive exploration of sex, power and consent, and what happens when we revisit the past with rose-tinted glasses. 'Beautifully written, transportive, and thought-provoking' LUCY CLARKE, author of THE CASTAWAYS 'A mesmerising, unsettling and gripping debut' CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD, author of RUN TIME 'Thought-provoking, timely' SARAH TURNER, author of STEPPING UP *********** Readers are talking about THE GIRLS OF SUMMER: * 'In the age of #MeToo, this book is one that will ring true with so many people' * 'Beautifully written with a tense, emotive plot that will be relatable to so many women' * 'An excellent debut. Raw, real, and gut-wrenchingly familiar' * 'Wow wow wow! I am still thinking about it, it's one of those stories that stays with you'
