Set in 3 different eras, following the lives of three different women, One Apple Tasted is girly fiction with a difference. Dora Jerusalem is an anachronism – living in the 1980’s but with morals and habits more akin to the 1880’s. She is fresh out of Cambridge with Victorian ideals and hopes straight from a romantic novel. When she is hired by Modern Woman magazine Dora seems to have landed on her feet. However, her sheltered background has not prepared her for the life of the rich and spoilt. Falling head over heels in love with the dashing yet occasionally dastardly Guy Boleyn doesn’t help her. In fact, it leads to nothing but heartache for both of them. Moving back to 1939, we see a young woman crying in a Harley Street waiting room. The stranger who approaches her brings opportunities she didn’t know existed.Moving on to 1958, two young women share excitement in preparing for a ball: an event which will change their lives forever. With the stories of all the women intertwined, this book is not your usual chick-lit. Twists, turns, buried secrets and decisions that change lives forever give us a story that is a much mystery as it is romance. Josa Young graduated from Cambridge herself and went to work for Vogue magazine (I’m sure she has drawn on many personal experiences for this story). Having first published this book herself, Josa shows great promise with her debut novel. I’m looking forward to reading more of her work. |
