‘This deliciously dark American debut’ - The Guardian ‘Best Reads For Summer’ ‘This astonishing debut … I was utterly hooked … [by] this twisty, sexy, shocking treat of a novel … How on earth will Julia May Jonas better this?’ - The Sunday Times A provocative, razor-sharp, and timely debut novel about a ‘This deliciously dark American debut’ - The Guardian ‘Best Reads For Summer’ ‘This astonishing debut … I was utterly hooked … [by] this twisty, sexy, shocking treat of a novel … How on earth will Julia May Jonas better this?’ - The Sunday Times A provocative, razor-sharp, and timely debut novel about a beloved English professor facing a slew of accusations against her professor husband by former students - a situation that becomes more complicated when she herself develops an obsession of her own … When I was a child, I loved old men, and I could tell that they also loved me.
