Héloïse Press' Debut of the Year
A psychological portrait of all the insecurities and challenges of a young woman in a restless search for her own place in life.
Thirsty Sea chronicles a day in the life of a young woman in a state of free-fall, haunted by her past, sidestepping her present, and stalked by a future she is reluctant to meet. Switching between different narrative modes - poetry and comedy, memoir and stream of consciousness - Maria is trapped in her impossible, maze-like conciousness.
"Thirsty Sea continues a tradition of simultaneously confessional and elliptical writing by women that streches from Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar to the fourth-wall busting, televisual crise de coeur Fleabag." Laura Allsop
"Thirsty Sea is a deep dive into the female psyche. It is also a linguist's paradise." The Publishing Post
"Thirsty Sea is a total triumph of cognizance, a haunting presence in its own right." Asymptote
"A poetic, rhythmic and powerful tale of guilt, Thirsty Sea is a magnificient, compelling debut." Nataliya Deleva
