Chloe Timms
If they do not conceive, they're cast back into the ocean as a sacrifice in an act called the Untethering.
Esta witnesses such an act as a child. Her childhood growing up on the island is fraught with tension as she comes to the terms with the prohibitive malaise of the culture she finds herself in. Before long, she gets a taste of freedom and the potential of the world that is much larger than Eden's Isle. But she is bound, like many women before her, when she is married off and her motheryear is finally declared. Will she conceive a child in her loveless arranged marriage, or suffer the same fate of many women before her, and be Untethered?
The Seawomen is a debut novel crackling with imagination and love. It's about the choices we make and challenging the myths and ties that bind us.

Recensioni della critica
Beautifully written ... a great concept, brilliantly executed, and it is essential reading for dystopian fiction fans (Sunday Business Post)
If you're looking for your next Handmaid's Tale-esque fix, this is it (Belfast Telegraph)
Timms unmasks organised religion as a gleaming façade for misogynistic cults, and explores how easily whispered rumours can spiral into mass hysteria. Bonus points for her shockingly nasty villain, Father Jessop
An unsettling and lushly-written reimagining of witch trials, exploring fertility, control and how what we believe can save us - or destroy us. The Handmaid's Tale meets The Shape of Water (Kirsty Logan)
A gripping tale of love and bravery; The Seawomen immerses you in its watery world. (Sophie Ward)
This book sucked me under and held me in its gorgeous, terrifying embrace. It's a rare treat to read a story so gripping told in such beautiful prose. Dive in and don't look back. (Zoe Gilbert)
Richly atmospheric, powerful and provocative. A raw and beautiful coming of age story. (Caroline Lea)
I read this beautiful novel in a fever dream, its sweeping prose carrying me away like a boat out at sea. Chloe Timms has written an extraordinary tale of one woman's desire for freedom, for love. Mesmerising and moving, I couldn't put it down. (Susannah Wise)
A powerful, enchanting novel, with prose so vivid you can taste the salt in the air on your tongue (Anna Bailey)
Timms' writing is at once lyrical and measured, bold and tender. The lens she offers us to look through is an unusual and passionate love story, which renders The Seawomen as gripping as it is haunting. (The Swansea Bay)
