Celadon Books recently acquired Confessions, a debut novel by Alexandra F. Coego. Set in Spain, the story follows a struggling young woman who returns to her hometown for the summer and begins a secret affair with a man from her past that threatens to expose an institutional scandal.
“Set over the course of a single hazy summer on the Spanish coast, this deliciously dreamy novel captivated me from the first page,” says Margaux Kanamori, editorial assistant at Celadon Books. “It asks juicy, compelling questions about coming of age, power dynamics in love and friendship, and institutional responsibility. The alluring setting and sense of yearning make it a perfect literary summer read!”
Kanamori acquired the book, pitched as Vladimir meets My Brilliant Friend, at auction from Lily Dolin at Sterling Lord Literistic.
