Viac o knihe

In 2000, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes involved in a complex affair with her charismatic forty-two-year-old English teacher, Jacob Strane. Fast forward to 2017, as allegations against powerful men surge, Strane faces accusations of sexual abuse from a former student who reaches out to Vanessa. This contact forces Vanessa to confront a harrowing dilemma: should she remain silent, believing her teenage self willingly engaged in the relationship, or reevaluate her past and redefine her identity? The struggle to reject her first love, who profoundly influenced her life, complicates her decision. Vanessa grapples with the possibility that the man she idolized may not be who she thought. The narrative alternates between her present and past, exploring the intertwining of memory, trauma, and the exhilarating discovery of her own power as a young woman. This thought-provoking tale delves into the complexities of adolescence and its lasting effects, raising crucial questions about agency, consent, complicity, and victimhood. With haunting intimacy and gripping intensity, it captures the evolving cultural landscape that shapes personal relationships and societal norms.

Další z příběhů zkaženého učitele a nevinné školačky? Na začátku autorka uvádí, že je to román, co si vymyslela. Je však napsaný jako vzpomínky na skutečné události prokládané pozdější dobou, kdy učitel je obviněn z dalšího obtěžování. Bohužel děje se to stále a za jméno si můžete dosadit jakoukoliv dívku a příběh bude stále stejný. Hodnotím jako román, který však používá jen jazyk non fiction. Děj prostě plyne s časem a někdy je současnost docela nuda. Kniha však svou výpovědní hodnotu má a upozorňuje na bolavá témata.
