Description
When Ursula is invited to join a squat at The Underwood, a mysterious house whose owners met a terrible end, she canāt resist the promise of a readymade, hodgepodge family. But as her new wild-child friend Sueās behaviour and demands become more extreme, Ursula who has always been hungryāfor foodāand more importantly for love, acceptance and belonging, carries out her friendās terrible dare. It’s a decision that will haunt her for decades.
But it is not only the filmmaker who has discovered Ursulaās whereabouts thirty-six years later, and as her past catches up with her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are within her or without. From critically acclaimed and award-winning author, Claire Fuller, Hunger and Thirst is a compelling and chilling tale of loneliness and female friendship, of the dangerous line between wanting and needing, and of how far a person will go to truly belong.
