It’s funny in a wince-inducing way, but also tender about what it costs to want too much, too young.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eSeventeen-year-old Waldo is all appetite and contradiction: bold, lonely, furious, hopeful. When she fixates on her creative writing teacher, Mr Korgy, it isn’t just the older-man fantasy; it’s the charge of being noticed, of being taken seriously, of finally feeling seen. As their lives brush closer together, the story digs into power, class, sex, and the stories we tell ourselves to make longing feel like love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who like literary fiction with bite, morally complicated characters, and campus\/teacher-student tension handled with insight and discomfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd it to your cart if you want a novel that stays in your head.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52263747223828,"sku":"9780008800994","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9780008800994_1.jpg?v=1774246741","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/half-his-age","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
