Status Updates From Ein Sommer in Brandham Hall

Summery ☀️

aaaand we’re drawing near to the genre-defining cricket match lads

incredible writing style i’m enjoying it immensely

keep thinking about atonement while reading this so i did some googling and ian mcewan was indeed inspired by this LOL u live and u learn

maybe the most compelling prologue i’ve ever read??

“As for the Virgin, the one distinctively female figure in the galaxy, I can scarcely say what she meant to me. She was dressed adequately, but only in the coils and sweeps of her long hair; and I doubt whether the school authorities, had they known about her, would have approved of the hours of dalliance my thoughts spent with her, though these, I think, were innocent enough.”
What an incredible passage.
