Beschreibung

'Louise Wallace writes the excruciating and transformative with such precision it's almost impossible to believe. This is a razor-sharp novel: claustrophobic and expansive at once, full of terror and dark humor.' Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet

'Bruising, beautiful and uncompromising in the way that it explores anger, anxiety, motherhood and womanhood.' Daisy Buchanan, author of Careering

'As poetic as it is experimental . . . this is a novel you'll consume in one sitting.' Katie Yee, author of Maggie; or A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar

Thea lives under a mountain - one that's ready to blow.

A vet at a mid-sized rural practice, she has been called back during maternity leave and is coping - just - with the juggle of meetings, mealtimes, farm visits, her boss's search for legal loopholes and the constant care of her much-loved children, Eli and Lucy.

But something is shifting in Thea - something is burning. Or is it that she is becoming aware, for the first time, of the bright, hot core at her centre?

An urgent rallying cry to women everywhere, ASH is a story about reckoning with one's rage and finding marvels in the midst of chaos.
