* CANCELLED * My Dark Vanessa - the debut novel that everyone is talking about

My Dark Vanessa is a tricky and unsettling story. The subject matter of the book deals with teacher/student underage relationships and the abuse of power which comes with that. ____We’re aware this could well be a trigger for some people.

In the book, Vanessa Wye is fifteen years old when she first has sex with her English teacher. She is now thirty-two and the teacher, Jacob Strane, has just been accused of sexual abuse by another former student of his. Vanessa is horrified by this news, because she is quite certain that the relationship she had with Strane wasn't abuse. It was love. But now she is being asked to redefine the great love story of her life - her great sexual awakening - as something completely different.
