Meine dunkle Vanessa

A gripping, truly unforgettable, profound novel with an insane narrative pull. Vanessa is just fifteen when she sleeps with her English teacher for the first time. Jacob Strane is the only person who truly understands her. And Vanessa is certain: it is love. Everything happens with her consent. But then, almost twenty years later, Strane is accused of sexual abuse by another former student, who asks Vanessa for support. This forces Vanessa into a ruthless decision: to remain silent or to confront the truth of her relationship with Strane. But can she really reinterpret her own story – was she also just Strane's victim? "My Dark Vanessa" is a brilliant novel about all the contradictions that shape our relationships, a novel that shakes all certainties and makes us feel how difficult it is to draw clear boundaries. Disturbing and unforgettable!.
