The Hollow Sea

Reviews

Deftly structured and set against a wild, myth-inspired backdrop, the novel explores grief and violence, freedom and redemption. It's a majestic work of the imagination, with writing that shimmers before the reader, underpinned by a howling, fearless story. I loved it and woke up thinking about it A thoughtful, beautiful gem of a story and I loved it A stunning debut, part myth and part touching story of infertility and motherhood. I was swept away on a stormy sea and didn't want it to end. Delicious storytelling A bold, magical story about the letting go of long-held hope and building a different future A poetic tale An atmospheric tale shot through with folklore. Annie Kirby's writing shimmers as she weaves together the threads of Scottie's forgotten past and her journey to face a future where she won't be the mother she always hoped to be. Beautiful & hopeful A beautifully written, heart-rending atmospheric novel of finding what makes one whole An incredibly beautiful story, shot through with shimmering myth, sorrow and hope One of those rare novels that combines a page-turning story with language to savour. A beguiling and beautiful tale about motherhood, nature and art, The Hollow Sea celebrates the many different ways we might create and nurture. This mesmerising tale has just the right amount of folklore to be magical Expand reviews
