BlueSpeedwell

'Tatiana Strauss is a tuning fork for feeling' Katharine Eastman

'The joy in this novel really hits home...' Sam R

A spirited fourteen-year-old has a transcendent affair with a startlingly older man whilst holidaying at her uncle’s racehorse stables in 1980s rural Ireland.

Unable to forgive her family for separating them, she runs away to London, guided by an ally to a fantastic bohemian squat. Finding the household is at the cutting edge of creativity and fashion, she freely embraces modelling, art and acting.

But as the years pass, and boyfriends come and go, no one can replace the ache for her first forbidden lover. When she encounters an enigmatic young man, she wonders if there might just be a way.

Our audacious narrator draws us into her world as she journeys with unrelenting momentum through love, loss, anger and back again, pushing at boundaries—until she crashes headlong into what may be her ultimate awakening.

BlueSpeedwell is the full-length novel in Tatiana Strauss' unflinching BlueSpeedwell series.
