When a former student accuses her old English teacher of abuse, Vanessa Wye must reconsider the relationship she began with him at fifteen. A novel about power, memory and trauma by Kate Elizabeth Russell.
In 2000, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes involved with her English teacher, Jacob Strane. Years later, in 2017, another former student accuses him of sexual abuse and contacts Vanessa.
As the allegations force her to revisit her adolescence, Vanessa struggles to reconcile her memories of love with the possibility that she was exploited. Moving between past and present, Kate Elizabeth Russell's novel examines grooming, consent, trauma and the stories people tell themselves to survive.
