From the author of In the Gloaming and Fellowship Point, Alice Elliott Dark's powerful and emotional debut novel traces one young woman's reckoning with a childhood tragedy set during mid-1960s America and 1970s London. Two cataclysmic events occur on February 9, 1964. The Beatles appear on The Ed Sullivan Show and later that night, nine-year-old Jane MacLeod's life changes forever. It has been said that children are good observers but poor interpreters and Jane's interpretation of the events of that evening shapes her life in ways she doesn't recognize. Think of England follows Jane from an intense love affair in the ex-pat scene in punk-era London to working motherhood in New York to a family reunion in the country--and a reckoning with the ghost that has stood between her and her dreams of a happy family.
