It didn’t start with me by Nataliya Deleva

 ‘I wanted to take my traumatic childhood experiences and to transform them into a book that will hopefully be an enjoyable read and start, and contribute to, important debates. On the one hand, about domestic abuse, and on the other, about our resilience and willpower to craft and change our lives. 

Support does exist, and it is important that we recognise this.’

‘These genre-leaping stories are funny and heartbreaking and wonderfully ferocious; it’s been ages since I’ve read sentences with this much verve and snap. Walking on Cowrie Shells is a delightful, rollicking debut.’ - Carmen Maria Machado, author of In The Dream House Arrival is an exploration of the ripple effects of domestic abuse. The story follows a young woman fleeing her home country and trying to rebuild her life, after she has suffered violence at the hands of an alcoholic father. As we begin counting down the days until we publish Nataliya Deleva’s stunning new novel ARRIVAL, we just had to reread her first book Four Minutes, translated by Izidora Angel. If you haven’t had a chance to read the book already then you’re really missing out… You may even recognise a familiar character that appears in both stories!
