‘Marina Perezagua is an exciting new voice, one of the best of the new generation of Spanish writers’

-- Salman Rushdie

‘A thought-provoking novel that both illuminates and obscures the complexity of motherhood and the bonds between mothers and daughters.’ 

‘The Beach tries to place the reader in the eye of the hurricane of motherhood, and that is what literature often consists of, getting us involved with the great questions and challenges of today from an artistic and metaphorical point of view.’

‘It’s the story of a triple shipwreck, honest, audacious, courageous in the intimacy and everyday nature of what is told, whose umbilical cord is a language that is both stark and tender.’

‘Marina Perezagua is an exciting new voice, one of the best of the new generation of Spanish writers.’ 

-- Salman Rushdie
