OrangeCurtis GarnerLabel: Verve BooksDescription: A candid portrayal of first love and self-discovery from the author of the 'instant queer classic' Isaac. Cornwall 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 Édouard Louis and Douglas Stuart's writing Orange examines how we reconcile our past selves with the people we become those we bring with us and those we leave behind.
