About the Book

Revolution has never looked so good... 'Heady and reckless and dangerously fun' New York Times 'Sexy, kinetic, dazzling' Chang-rae Lee 'Filled with sex, violence and glamour' Adam Johnson Corsica, 1993. As a sun-drenched Mediterranean summer heads into full swing, beautiful and brash seventeen-year-old Séverine Guimard is counting down the days until graduation, dreaming of stardom while smoking cigarettes and seducing boys in her class to pass the time. The pampered French-American daughter of a politician, Séverine knows she's destined for bigger things. That is, until three masked men emerge from an idling car, tear her from her bike, duct tape her mouth and wrists, and take her somewhere hidden from prying eyes. While her parents try to negotiate for her release, Séverine finds herself beginning to sympathise with the political motivations of her captors, and becoming attracted to the group's charismatic leader, Bruno. What follows is a summer of passion and terror, careening toward an inevitable, explosive conclusion, as Séverine steps into the biggest role of her life...

Review :
A novel I inhaled and loved...The Bombshell belongs in the category of books you really must read until the end - I was clocked by a twist I genuinely didn't see coming - and there's a lot of sultry detail to keep you engaged along the way... I dare anyone to pick up the novel without falling for - and, OK, occasionally wanting to ground - Séverine, the alluring and vain teenager at its heart If a book could possess "French-Girl Style" The Bombshell would have it. Darrow Farr's debut novel is effortlessly cool: a smart, sophisticated tale of sexual and political awakening over the course of a fateful summer... Heady and reckless and dangerously fun A lush, cinematic and propulsive novel filled with sex, violence, glamor and a true revolutionary spirit. It's a towering literary achievement An electrifying exploration of personal and political revolution, The Bombshell is a complex, unflinching portrait of youthful transformation and the dangerous allure of fame that announces Darrow Farr as an exciting new voice to watch What a sexy, kinetic and dazzling novel this is, full of lust for life and ideas and the fecund dreams of youth. I was completely seduced by the brio of its unlikely revolutionary hero.... An amazing, unforgettable novel The Bombshell will explode into your psyche and keep you happily captive until the last word. Farr's complicated heroine, by turns overconfident and touchingly vulnerable, will force you to constantly reassess your convictions. I didn't want this fascinating, nuanced, beautifully drawn novel to end.
