SPARK
Every fire begins somewhere. What survives becomes the story.By Bryony Gallop
Length11h
About this audiobook
Lottie Thornton has always been too much — too bright, too fierce, too unwilling to bend. When she enters a Sussex boarding school in 1979, she meets Mei Lin Chen, who recognises the fire beneath the surface long before Lottie does. What begins as a quiet connection becomes the first spark of a story that will follow them into adulthood.
SPARK explores girlhood, intensity, and the early shaping of identity. It is a novel about the people who mark us, the systems that try to contain us, and the moment we realise we are more than the shape we were given.
