A young woman is hired as a tutor for a boy for a summer. It‘s about the relationship between them and the others in the household. One of my favorite books ever.

I really enjoyed this - a beautiful summer read and great debut. Set on Sark and in Paris, it tells of Jude, Pip and Sofi and those intense times in youth that stay with us. It's an easy read but the writing is rich and true. Pic: mosaic wall map of Channel Islands! ☀️
"Our skin got darker and our hair got lighter, and the summer passed like sand between our fingers."
I'm enjoying this partly because of the location - = mine this week (a local bookshop find) - and because it reads effortlessly. Her writing style is natural, nothing is overwritten. A shimmering summer read so far. ☀️
A location read for the Channel Islands. Good so far!
