Description

The Jealous Kind by James Lee Burke is set against the backdrop of 1970s Houston, where life appears to be as it should be - drive-in restaurants, souped-up cars and jukeboxes. However, beneath the surface, a class war has begun, and violence lurks in every corner.

Against this complex landscape, Aaron Holland Broussard's discovery of first love sets him on a path of self-discovery and confrontation with the harsh realities of his world. As he navigates this treacherous terrain, he must find the courage to stand up for what is right, just as his father did in the Great War.

Written in evocative prose, The Jealous Kind is a powerful exploration of the human condition, one that will leave you reflecting on the enduring power of first love and its capacity to transform us.
