{"product_id":"jean","title":"Jean","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet over one hot summer, a startlingly assured debut about the kinds of love that break us and make us whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne afternoon in 1976, teenagers Jean and Tom share an almost imperceptible look across the grounds of Compton Manor, a boarding school for boys with problems. Their gaze marks a secret intimacy, one defined as much by violence as by friendship and desire. As the boys' connection deepens, so too does the risk that surrounds it. Jean - son of a single mother, Jewish, on a scholarship, forever an outsider - wonders whether the relationship might offer a way out of a life marked by alienation. But what if the only true path to freedom is to disappear altogether?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpellbinding and evocative, Jean is a meditative narrative of loss and escape distilled into the heartrending story of an intense and dangerous adolescent love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'There's something uncanny in Madeleine Dunnigan's austerely beautiful prose, in how what begins as a character study takes on a cosmic scale. Jean is a darkly luminous, profound novel; there are passages that give the shock of the genuinely great. An extraordinary debut.' Garth Greenwell\u003cbr\u003e'Jean utterly transported me . . .
