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 domestic violence at the hands of an alcoholic father.
Prompted by her therapist, the unnamed protagonist starts processing the abuse experienced in her childhood while also pondering what it means to be a mother when consumed by trauma. The novel bends form to accommodate the narrator's scattered mind and her attempt to assemble a version of herself through fragments and stitches of memories, borrowed conversations, and minutiae that linger and haunt.
Infused with love and determination and interwoven with folk tales and rituals, Arrival depicts the ways in which we are resilient, capable of carving our own paths and reimagining our lives.
'A powerful tale about love, domestic violence, motherhood, escape, and arrival.' - Naja Marie-Aidt
'Sensual, languid, feline.' - Marina Benjamin
