Clepsydra is a novel rooted in solitude, memory and the quiet, enduring presence of place. Set on a remote outport island, it follows three women whose lives unfold in isolation yet remain deeply entangled—with one another, with the land and with the weight of what has been carried forward.

Moving between interior reflection and the rhythms of coastal life, the work explores grief, resilience and the invisible labour women do in holding a life together. The island itself becomes a living presence—watchful, weathered and steeped in memory—where past and present exist in uneasy proximity.

Written in a language that is both restrained and immersive, Clepsydra does not seek to resolve its tensions so much as to remain with them, allowing moments of tenderness, unease and recognition to surface gradually.
