Reviews

'A long, disturbing dream . . . a fascinating, unsettling ride' - Guardian

'There's so much that feels deeply present about Yuknavitch's latest novel: the ever-expanding police state, lower Manhattan under water and a woman on a mission to rescue other vulnerable women. Yuknavitch's words are incantations, and Thrust is a triumph' - Elle

'An indignant and impressive novel' - New York Times

'Moving and incisive' - Time

'This weirdly wonderful [novel] on the surveillance state, climate change, and what it means to have agency as a woman in the world will throw your mind for a loop in the best way' - Good Housekeeping
