Great Godden by Meg Rosoff is a lyrical and emotionally charged coming-of-age novel exploring love, desire, jealousy and the fragile intensity of one unforgettable summer. Beautifully written and deeply atmospheric, the novel captures the emotional turbulence of adolescence and the way a single person can transform an entire family dynamic.

Set in a holiday house by the sea, the story follows a watchful unnamed narrator observing the long summer days shared by siblings, cousins and family members preparing for a wedding. Everything changes with the arrival of two brothers: the magnetic and irresistible Kit Godden, and his quiet, mysterious brother Hugo.
