Thirst for Salt

“There is no end to grief, because there is no end to love.”

A quote so true. And a quote that really captures this book about a romance between a young woman and a man eighteen years her senior. It‘s a beautiful, tender and sad lovestory (no spoiler) set against the wild Australian coast. I really loved it: both lovers, the way they live their lives and how they tried to share it. A wonderful book.

MicheleinPhilly Ain‘t that the truth? 9mo

I love when books stir up emotions (in this case, long-forgotten) in me! Lucas puts the reader in the shoes of our twenty-something MC who is visiting the coast with her mother, where she meets an older man, a local. The perspective of a young woman falling head over heels really brought out the feels. I caught myself reminiscing about becoming so attached to someone. A character-driven novel full of longing, love and loss. #blameitonlitsy

Cinfhen Great review! I loved this one! It definitely gave me #Feels 2y

I really enjoyed this one. The writing is beautiful and the style fits perfectly to the story of remembering a past love affair. Melancholy and bittersweet. I think you may have put this one on my radar @squirrelbrain 💙💙

vivastory I hope you are well, Sarah! I picked up a book of J. Robert Lennon stories the other day. Thought you might be interested

Gorgeous debut - the writing is lush and evocative. 💯 for you @BarbaraBB @KarenUK ❣️❣️❣️ A young woman looks back on a summer love affair with an older man. It‘s a slow burn, very much character driven but absolutely stunning and vivid. I owe a HUGE thanks to @squirrelbrain who put this book on my #ReadersRadar 💗

LeeRHarry Had this one on my radar, and on my library holds list - mainly because it‘s a debut by an Australian author but also because it sounds really good - so therefore glad that you enjoyed it 😊 2y

squirrelbrain Now I‘m DEFINITELY going to have to buy it, aren‘t I?! My #netgalley request hasn‘t come through yet. 😕 It did quite well on the #camplitsy voting, but not quite well enough. 2y

Cinfhen I‘m really happy to send you my copy @squirrelbrain xx I‘m pretty sure I have your address saved on file xxx 2y
