A stunning debut novel from the acclaimed young Irish poet Seán Hewitt, reminiscent of Garth Greenwell and Justin Torres in the intensity of its evocation of sexual awakening
Set in a remote village in the north of England, Open, Heaven unfolds over the course of one year in which two teenage boys meet and transform each others lives.
Jamesa sheltered, shy sixteen-year-oldis alone in his newly discovered sexuality, full of an unruly desire but entirely inexperiencedAs he is beginning to understand himself and his longings, he also realizes how his feelings threaten to separate him from his family and the rural community he has grown up in. He dreams of another life, fantasizing about what lies beyond the villages leaf-ribboned boundaries, beyond his reach: autonomy, tenderness, sex.
Then, in the autumn of 2002, he meets Luke, a slightly older boy, handsome, unkempt, who comes with a reputation for danger. Abandoned by his parentshis father imprisoned, and his mother having moved to France for another manLuke has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle on their farm just outside the village.
James is immediately drawn to him "like the pull a fire makes on the air, dragging things into it and blazing them into its hot, white centre," drawn to this boy who is beautiful and impulsive, charismatic, troubled. But underneath Lukes bravado is a deep wounda longing for the love of his father and for the stability of family life.
Open, Heaven is a novel about desire, yearning, and the terror of first loveWith the striking economy and lyricism that animate his work as a poet, Hewitt has written a mesmerizing hymn to boyhood, sensuality, and love in all its forms. A truly exceptional debut.
