Description
Lucy's journey from working-class Sunderland to university life in London is a story of self-discovery and identity. When she wins a place at university, she expects the city to unlock her future, but the reality is far from what she anticipated.
As she navigates the challenges of university life, Lucy finds herself struggling to fit in and define her place in the world. It's a feeling she's all too familiar with, having grown up in a different world. Her decision to take a break and seek solace in her late grandfather's cottage in Ireland is a turning point in her journey, forcing her to confront the complexities of her own identity.
Saltwater is a lyrical and boundary-breaking exploration of the human experience, delving into the intricacies of mother-daughter relationships, class identity, and the power of love to both heal and hurt.
