A literary and powerful but beautiful voice, combined with the ability to make dark, strange worlds accessible; this is the most dynamic and driving of Natasha Carthew's novels to date, with moving characters, real heart and a thrilling story

Recenzii
I was absolutely cheering on Kel and Rose by the end of their stormy salt water odyssey! Wonderful, mesmerising, immersive story telling
I loved Only the Ocean. It's about a girl who is trying to escape from a dreadful life and an entire deck of cards stacked against her. It's about a girl whose idea of escape and what it could look like has been severely limited by that dreadful life. It's about a dawning sexuality overcoming past trauma and it's about the new, hitherto unimagined, escape routes that love can bring. This all comes wrapped up in Carthew's singular and poetic style, awareness of nature and use of dialect. I thought it was wild and raw and truly, truly beautiful.
Steering clear of well-worn clichés, Carthew's stories cut to the heart of human experience, often portraying and championing life's underdogs and outsiders. What a thrilling, thought-provoking novel this is, brimming with perilous encounters, and the rawness of real-life relationships
An intriguing LGBTQ story about survival and fortitude, with a fierce protagonist at its heart
A heart-rending quest story about children in a bitterly cold, climate-changed Cornwall, searching for the everyday comforts and love of the world so recently lost
Gripping stuff, Carthew's prose has a startling ferocity
A vivid, imagistic language
