THE BOOK OF THE SUMMER
A girl grows up in the north-east of England amid scarcity, fearing her own desires and feeling undeserving of love. Years later, living in tiny rented rooms and working in noisy bars across London and Paris, she meets someone who offers her a new way to experience the world.
But when he invites her to join him in Barcelona, the promise of care makes her uneasy. In the shimmering Mediterranean heat, she is faced with both pleasure and shame, and must find out if she is able to change.
'Addictive, immediate, brilliant' Helen Mort
'A sharp and beguiling love story . . . Milk Teeth is a transporting, gorgeous novel' Independent
