Amy & Lan by Sadie Jones

Two inseparable children grow up on a rural English farm where their idealistic parents attempt to build a communal utopia, promising freedom, honesty, and closeness to nature. As the seasons turn, the adults’ ambitions curdle into rivalry, secrecy, and desire, transforming the haven into a pressure cooker of shifting alliances. Observing more than the grown-ups realize, the children piece together the fractures in their world until a summer reckoning shatters the dream and forces them to confront the end of innocence.
