ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY’S BREAKOUT AUTHOR TO WATCH IN 2020
“Brilliant and stunning . . . an absolute must read.” – GILLIAN FLYNN
“A well-constructed package of dynamite.” – STEPHEN KING
A most anticipated book by The New York Times • USA Today • Entertainment Weekly • Marie Claire • Elle • Harper's Bazaar • Bustle • Newsweek • New York Post • Esquire • Real Simple • The Sunday Times • The Guardian
ONE OF THE MOST BUZZED ABOUT DEBUTS IN YEARS
AN INTERNATIONAL SENSATION SOLD IN 24 TERRITORIES AND COUNTING
Exploring the psychological dynamics of the relationship between a precocious yet naïve teenage girl and her magnetic and manipulative teacher, a brilliant, all-consuming read that marks the explosive debut of an extraordinary new writer.
2000. Bright, ambitious, and yearning for adulthood, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes entangled in an affair with Jacob Strane, her magnetic and guileful forty-two-year-old English teacher.
2017. Amid the rising wave of allegations against powerful men, a reckoning is coming due. Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life? Is it possible that the man she loved as a teenager—and who professed to worship only her—may be far different from what she has always believed?
Alternating between Vanessa’s present and her past, My Dark Vanessa juxtaposes memory and trauma with the breathless excitement of a teenage girl discovering the power her own body can wield. Thought-provoking and impossible to put down, this is a masterful portrayal of troubled adolescence and its repercussions that raises vital questions about agency, consent, complicity, and victimhood. Written with the haunting intimacy of The Girls and the creeping intensity of Room, My Dark Vanessa is an era-defining novel that brilliantly captures and reflects the shifting cultural mores transforming our relationships and society itself.
Includes a bonus conversation with Kate Elizabeth Russell, Grace Gummer, and Jessica Williams (editor of My Dark Vanessa).
This audiobook includes an episode of the Book Club Girl Podcast, featuring an interview with Kate Elizabeth Russell about My Dark Vanessa.

Cudowna książka. Bardzo dobre stadium manipulacji i uwiedzenia młodej osoby i wychodzenia z takiego związku latami albo i przez całe życie.

Very important, but also very disturbing book. It raises many questions about consent and abuse and shows these problems in a new light. Strane is the most terrible, disturbing and complex character I have ever read about.

Bardzo dobra psychologiczna powieść, która po mistrzowsku pokazuje jak subtelne mogą być techniki manipulacji. Ciekawa jest narracja z punktu widzenia wykorzystywanej nastolatki, która miota się między instynktem, który podpowiada jej, że cos jest bardzo nie tak, a poddaniem się pochlebstwom, poczuciu bycia wyjatkową, wybraną. Autorka miesza czytelnikowi trochę w głowie przedstawiając 15-lenią Vanesse jako dużo dojrzalszą od jej rówieśniczek, doświadczającą przyjemności z seksu, i czującą pewien rodzaj władzy nad starszym o 27 lat nauczycielem. Narracja przeplata się między Vanessa nastolatka i Vanessa teraz, 32 letnia. Ta druga ciągle nie umie przyznać się przed sobą, że była ofiarą molestowania. Tylko jak wygląda jej życie? Relacje? Terapia sporo jej uświadamia, a czytelnik czeka na moment, kiedy Vanessa w końcu przestanie się oszukiwać. Warto przeczytać..
