The Inland Sea by Madeleine Watts
A fierce and beautiful novel about coming of age in a dying world. Shortlisted for the 2021 Miles Franklin Literary Award.
'Watts writes with precision and great power.. To call The Inland Sea 'a novel about climate change' would be to do it a disservice; it is about much else besides, capturing what it means to be young, wounded and afraid today better than anything else I've come across recently. It is a masterful debut that demands to be read' - Telegraph
'Full of heat and disquiet, astute and precise, almost savage in its eloquence, illuminating about what it feels like to love, to be left, to want more' - Leslie Jamison, author of MAKE IT SCREAM, MAKE IT BURN
