Description
Book SynopsisWhen two women and a dog set off on a holiday they have no inkling of what’s to come. They wake to find the river has crept up silently during the night. Trapped by floodwater, they devise escape routes only to be faced with more obstacles at every turn. Only the dog remains calm. This novella grips you with its language, its pace, its anxieties.
Trade Review"If you are uncertain about novels in verse, this would be a great one to try. The story is easy to follow; the language spare and beautiful, but accessible... Limen is a beautiful read... The text is supported by simple, stylish, irregularly interspersed, black and white illustrations -- a lizard, tire tracks, patterns in the mud." -- Whispering Gum book blog
"I feel a little voyeuristic reading this novella, as if I have been let in, a little, to a world of women where I have never been." -- Patrick McCauley
Lovely review of Susan Hawthorne's Limen in Rochford Street Review
