How To Tell If You’re In A Kathleen Jowitt novel*:
You’re not nearly such a terrible person as you thought you were. A red-haired activist from the North is trying to make your life better whether or not you wanted her to. You have devoted your life to this institution and it isn’t thanking you for it. You’re going through hell, but you come out the other side. Your friends spend their lives arguing on the internet. You can’t make any assumptions based on someone else’s religion, but you do anyway.
Oh, and you were never interested in the politics, but that hasn’t stopped the politics in being interested in you. And your parents are appalling.
The reader can also expect to find:
- a fictional location
- politics
- a bisexual character
- a reasonably optimistic romance which might or might not be the focus of the story
P. S. I’m trying to write less appalling parents.
