A captivating novel that delves into the complex web of relationships and accusations, "Vladimir" is a provocative and timely exploration of love, obsession, and power.

The story revolves around a beloved English professor named Julia, who faces a barrage of accusations against her husband, a charismatic professor at the same small liberal arts college. These allegations stem from his inappropriate relationships with his former students, a situation that becomes increasingly complicated when Julia herself develops an obsession with a celebrated married young novelist named Vladimir.

As the investigation unfolds, Julia and her husband find themselves caught in a web of lies, secrets, and betrayals. Their once-mutual understanding of their extramarital pursuits begins to unravel, and their tinder-box world comes dangerously close to exploding.

Through the eyes of our unnamed narrator, Julia May Jonas takes us into charged territory, where the restrictions of morality bump up against the impulses of the human heart. "Vladimir" is darkly funny and moving, offering a nuanced portrayal of the personal and political minefield of our current moment. It exposes the messy contradictions of power and desire, and leaves the reader questioning the boundaries between love, loyalty, and morality.

This astonishing debut novel has already garnered critical acclaim, with The Sunday Times describing it as a "twisty, sexy, shocking treat of a novel." It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a compelling story that challenges societal norms and explores the darker corners of the human psyche.
