Open, Heaven by Sean Hewitt
Set over a year in a remote village in northern England, Open, Heaven follows sixteen-year-old James as he discovers his sexuality and meets Luke, an older, charismatic and troubled boy sent to live with relatives. Their growing connection challenges James’s ties to family and community and reveals both boys’ deep longings for intimacy, belonging, and stability. The novel is a spare, lyrical exploration of first love, desire, and the risks of becoming who you are.
