Orange
(Author) Curtis GarnerCornwall, 2018. In the quiet fishing village of Portscatho, sixteen-year-old Daniel and seventeen-year-old Jago form an unexpected connection - something neither of them can name. What unfolds is transformative, particularly for Daniel, who for the first time feels truly seen. East London, 2023. Daniel has rewritten himself: sharper, louder, queer in a way the city understands. But a visit from Jago stirs up a reckoning with his former life, forcing them both to question how much change their bond can withstand. Reminiscent of Edouard Louis and Douglas Stuart's fiction in its blend of grit and tenderness, with an unflinching look at relationships that will appeal to fans of Sally Rooney, Orange examines how we reconcile our past selves with the people we become, those we bring with us and those we leave behind.
