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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2014and who professed to worship only her\u2014may be far different from what she has always believed?<\/p>\n<p>Alternating between Vanessa\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p> <br \/>\n         From the Publisher            <\/p>\n<p>                                          <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"vanessa quote card\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/1af4cb5a-c8cc-44fd-a4fd-03ce4cc45702.__CR0,3,1923,595_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"vanessa quote card\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/1af4cb5a-c8cc-44fd-a4fd-03ce4cc45702.__CR0,3,1923,595_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">   <\/p>\n<p>                                          <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"big quote card vanessa\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/04dba13e-3530-4c68-a4b2-458866354407.__CR0,3,1923,595_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"big quote card vanessa\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media\/vc\/04dba13e-3530-4c68-a4b2-458866354407.__CR0,3,1923,595_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">   <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 William Morrow Paperbacks; Reprint edition (February 2, 2021) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 400 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0062941518 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-0062941510 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 2.31 pounds <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.31 x 0.9 x 8 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book well-written and engaging.
