Saltwater:
Lyrical and boundary-breaking, Saltwater explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, the challenges of shifting class identity, and the way that the strongest feelings of love can be the hardest to define.
When Lucy wins a place at university, she thinks London will unlock her future. Yet her transition to a new life is more overwhelming than expected and a world away from working-class Sunderland. When things come to a head at her graduation, Lucy takes off for Ireland, seeking solace in her late grandfather’s cottage and the wild landscape surrounding it, wondering if she can piece together who she is.
