All Rivers Run Free

All Rivers Run Free Synopsis

'Raw, passionate, hallucinatory' Rachel Holmes
'Extraordinary, beautiful and wild allegory for our times' Katharine Norbury
'Hypnotic and powerful' Fanny Blake, Daily Mail

A woman on the edge of the sea finds a girl on the edge of life.

On the flooded coast of Cornwall, Ia Pendilly ekes out a fierce life in a childless marriage, as rough and stubborn as the sea. When a strange young girl washes up on the beach, Ia's rescue is only the beginning of a dangerous journey -- one that will take them downriver, into the fringes of a collapsing society and for Ia, towards something she hopes might be love.

A vision of the near-future and an odyssey of motherhood, All Rivers Run Free is a true original from a powerful new voice..
