A sultry debut novel for our sizzling summer, Jean A sultry debut novel for our sizzling summer, Jean by Madeleine Dunnigan is an absorbing story of alienation, longing and the search for self. Set in England during the famously long, hot summer of 1976, it tells of Jean, a 17-year-old scholarship boy at a bohemian boarding school for challenging boys. An angry and solitary soul, Jean feels ill at ease in this monied environment. As exams loom and Jean trembles on the brink of an uncertain future, Dunnigan takes us into his mind, past and present, and his growing attraction to a boy named Tom, sportsman, temptation and catalyst. See link in bio for our review. | 📷 @dauntbookspub @madeleine.dunnigan | #Bookstoker #bookrecs #bookreviewblog #bookswelove #debutnovel #readthisbook #summerreads
‘Be with me always- take any form- drive me mad! O ‘Be with me always- take any form- drive me mad! Only do not leave me in the abyss, where I cannot find you.’ Celebrating the glowering intensity of Wuthering Heights and the birthday of its creator, Emily Brontë (30th July 1818- 19th December 1848). We love Su Blackwell’s intricate tribute, crafted from vintage books. | @sublackwellstudio | #Bookstoker #bookart #bookishdelights #brontë #emilybrontë #literaryicon #wutheringheights
