Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half'Water courses through its pages, as rising sea levels heighten inequalities, buoy populist politicians and wash away every certainty of civilisation. But theres also the novels prose its liquid grace and glinting sparkle and the sheer irresistibility of a narrative that sweeps along with a force that feels tidal in its pull.' Observer'She vividly captures the balance between ferocity and vulnerability as the two girls explore their burgeoning desire; one minute theyre greedy for each other, the next theyre proceeding more gingerly. Theirs is a great first love, blazing bright and furious amid the poverty and the pain, the perfect counterweight thats needed to make the novel sing. Dreamland brings us face-to-face with much of what were on the threshold of losing; nevertheless, it manages to convince us that its characters have everything still to live for.'
