Hunger and thirst : a novel / Claire Fuller.
"Set between 1987 and the present day, this dark and atmospheric novel follows Ursula, a troubled teenager shaped by trauma, neglect, and a desperate need to belong. After aging out of the care system, she finds community among a group of young squatters living in a mysterious house with a violent past. Drawn into dangerous friendships and terrible choices, Ursula becomes tied to a haunting event that will shadow her for decades. Thirty-six years later, now a famous but reclusive sculptor hiding under a false identity, Ursula is forced to confront the secrets she has buried when a true-crime filmmaker begins investigating a long-unsolved disappearance. Blending gothic horror, psychological suspense, and coming-of-age drama, the novel explores loneliness, guilt, found family, and the haunting power of the past"-- Provided by publisher.
