Madelaine Lucas talks with Lo Carmen | Thirst for Salt
Tuesday 16 May 2023 from 7pm to 8:30pm
'How do people come together and come apart? Every once in a while, a novel enters my life that I know is destined to become part of my bloodstream. Thirst for Salt is one of those novels and I'm so excited to think of it finding its way to readers who will be changed by it.' – Leslie Jamison
Roaring Stories is incredibly proud to celebrate the extraordinary debut novel of one of our former booksellers, Madelaine Lucas. First published in the United States, it comes to our shores highly recommended by the New York Times as ‘lush and gorgeous…a delicious read, beautifully written and emotionally satisfying’, with Kirkus Reviews saying ‘Lucas’ portrayal of love and desire exerts a wonderful pull.’
On Tuesday 16 May, join Lucas in conversation with singer-songwriter Lo Carmen to talk about a book which is a love story – and so much more.
