Extract (download)
Eva Shell is what you’d expect a modern novel to look like: like nothing you have ever seen before. It is an innovative mosaic, a multilayered visual feast constructed through a variety of typeface and media: Eva Shell is kaleidoscopic. It is a book that explores new narrative possibilities for the novel… keeping you eager to turn the page.
Praise for Eva Shell
Eva Shell is a book that mirrors the life we lead today: fast, pacy, fractured, where technology has in many ways unplugged us from the world but also forged new and exciting ways of telling our stories. Set against the backdrop of Cardiff, a fresh and vivid portrait of this city in the 21st century… This is a world where past and present hold hands towards an uncertain future
