Use the Words You Have

I wonder if you’ve had a love like this? If there was a love you had one day long ago, a love that you tell stories about. Do you have the words to write it?

A literary romance like no other – Kimberly Campanello’s debut novel unfurls over a long hot Breton summer as American student K embarks on a love affair with a young local man. Barred from using English by their French Honors programme, the Americans’ identities flicker and fade. Yet for K this dissolution opens space for profound transformation.

Heady and poetic, erotic and intelligent, Use the Words You Have is a coming-of-age tale that reveals how coming-of-age – at its pinnacle – means coming alive. Alive and in command of your body and mind. Alive to touch and taste, pleasure and ecstasy. To the sea, the sun and eternity.
