JADED

Donna Tartt meets EL James in a provocative debut set on a 1980s college campus.

Every year, professors Sam and Vera lure a student into their lives, but this year their target is a mysterious young woman named Jade who will explode everything they have so carefully built, forcing them to reckon with a decades-long marriage full of complicity, lies, and lust.
