Krátky popis
FROM THE COSTA AWARD-WINNING, WOMEN S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF
UNSETTLED GROUND'An absolute masterpiece. Utterly absorbing,
genuinely unsettling' JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of
Suspicious Things'Atmospheric, psychologically vivid, and
unputdownable' ALICE WINN, author of In Memoriam1987: After a
childhood trauma and years in and out of the care system,
sixteen-year-old Ursula finds herself with a new job in the
postroom of a local art school, a bed in a halfway house, and
delightfully some new friends, including wild-child, Sue. When
Ursula is invited to join a squat at The Underwood, a mysterious
house whose owners met a terrible end, she can t resist the promise
of a readymade, hodgepodge family.But as Sue s behaviour and
demands become more extreme, Ursula who has always been hungry for
food and more importantly for love, acceptance and belonging,
carries out her friend s terrible dare.It's a decision that will
haunt her for decades.Thirty-six years later, Ursula is a renowned,
reclusive sculptor living under a pseudonym in London when her
identity is exposed by true-crime documentary-maker who is digging
into an unsolved disappearance. But it is not only the filmmaker
who has discovered Ursula s whereabouts, and as her past catches up
with her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are
within her or without.From critically acclaimed and award-winning
author, Claire Fuller, Hunger and Thirst is a compelling and
chilling tale of loneliness and female friendship, of the dangerous
line between wanting and needing, and of how far a person will go
to truly belong.'Unremittingly unsettling, propulsive and tense.
Fuller excels at depicting outsiders, and writes with such
precision and economy.Truly terrifying' Sarah Vaughan'Addictive,
disturbing and suspenseful. It reminded me of Ruth Rendell/Barbara
Vine at her most vivid. Ursula is a rare creation' Amanda Craig
