SUNBURN
BY CHLOE MICHELLE HOWARTH<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1990s, in a small Irish town, Lucy falls in love for the first time. Despite the all-consuming nature of her feelings, Lucy keeps her love a secret as, against all expectations, she hasn\u2019t fallen for her handsome best friend Martin but for another schoolmate, Susannah. Fearful of rejection from her traditional and conservative community, Lucy begins living a double life. A \u2018good girl\u2019, outwardly she appears as preoccupied with boys and parties as the rest of her friends, but Lucy has always felt out of place and knows that the traditional prospects of marriage and motherhood are not what she wants for herself. With the end of school and the opportunity to leave her small town approaching, Lucy must choose between two places, two people and two futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Told from Lucy\u2019s perspective, Howarth tenderly conveys Lucy\u2019s youthful naivety, adolescent angst, and bittersweet longing for Susannah. A moving coming-of-age love story, Sunburn is also the story of a young woman navigating the pull of the home whilst trying to remain true to herself. In its exploration of family dynamics and the claustrophobia of living under the weight of other people\u2019s expectations, Sunburn <\/em>is a compassionate novel that transcends place and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
