                   Vowler's writing overflows with empathy, sensuality and arresting imagery.                                                                                                                                                 Banshee

​EVERY SEVENTH WAVE has strong echoes of Fiona Mozley’s Elmet and Evie Wyld’s All the Birds, Singing. Strongly lyrical, the novel also serves as a literary thriller, with a suspenseful pace that builds to its redemptive finale. EVERY SEVENTH WAVE is a tale of the fates we tether ourselves to, how seemingly benign encounters can provoke both hope and devastation.
