The new novel from Women's Prize-shortlisted, Costa Award-winning author of Unsettled Ground - an addictively propulsive, richly nuanced and haunting story of horrors without and within 1987-

 

After a childhood trauma and years in and out of the care system, sixteen-year-old Ursula finds herself with a new job in the postroom of a local art school, a bed in a halfway house, and-delightfully- some new friends, including wild-child, Sue. When Ursula is invited to join a squat at The Underwood, a mysterious house whose owners met a terrible end, she can't resist the promise of a readymade, hodgepodge family. But as Sue's behaviour and demands become more extreme, Ursula who has always been hungry-for food-and more importantly for love, acceptance and belonging, carries out her friend's terrible dare. It's a decision that will haunt her for decades. Thirty-six years later, Ursula is a renowned, reclusive sculptor living under a pseudonym in London when her identity is exposed by true-crime documentary-maker who is digging into an unsolved disappearance. But it is not only the filmmaker who has discovered Ursula's whereabouts, and as her past catches up with her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are within her or without.

From critically acclaimed and award-winning author, Claire Fuller, Hunger and Thirst is a compelling and chilling tale of loneliness and female friendship, of the dangerous line between wanting and needing, and of how far a person will go to truly belong.

Simple learning book with lots to offer!
Format: Board book
I really love rainbows and I wanted to share that love with my children. This book is a great way to do that! It has solid construction with clean soft cuts on the pages, which are thinner but just as sturdy as most board books. Not too short, and well illustrated, and a good introduction to the colors, it is well worth the price.

Love the message the story tells, easy read!
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book tells a perfect little story teaching little ones to be thankful. I love how it only tells a story about being thankful and kind, but it also is teaching them numbers through repetition. Each page shows a number and also has the word of the number to read. In such a short read, little ones can learn a lot. Because it’s short and sweet, it keeps their attention and the illustrations are cute and fun for toddlers to follow along with. This makes for a perfect gift for a new little one or a great addition to a current toddler library! In our family, we also love that it’s a board book Because it holds up longer with a family of three little ages 1, 2.5 and 4. Everyone enjoys it and it’s a family favorite!

Just the sweetest book ever
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This is such a great read along for a 2-4 year old. I love the message of being thankful, it includes number counting, animals, and lots of cute graphics that kids love. Such a great read. Also being a board book it’s more sturdy than a standard book and I can let my toddler turn through the pages on his own without the fear of it ripping. Sturdy, attention catching, and a great teaching message makes it a wonderful read for kids.
