Aantal:
Jules has been divorced from her ex-husband Leon for five years, but she still works alongside him at Gunk, the grotty student nightclub he owns in central Brighton. She spends her nights serving shots and watching, from behind the bar, as Leon flirts with students on the dancefloor. In the early hours of the morning, she paces home to sleep.
But then Leon hires nineteen-year-old Nim to work the bar with Jules – Nim, with her shaved head and steady pour, her disarming sweetness and sudden distance – and Jules finds herself jolted awake. When Nim discovers she's pregnant, Jules agrees to help. As the months pass, and the relationship between the two women grows increasingly intimate and perplexing, it emerges that Nim has her own unexpected gifts to give.
Now, alone in her small flat, Jules is holding a baby, just twenty-four-hours old, who still smells of Nim. But no one knows where Nim is, or if she's coming back. What could the future – for Jules, Nim, and this unnamed baby – possibly look like?
Raw, exhilarating, tender and wise, Gunk is an electrifying debut novel exploring love and desire, safety and destruction, chaos and control – and family in all its forms.

Mia's review
Gunk is messy, intimate, funny and painfully human in the best ways. Life in this novel isn’t polished or idealized. It's sticky, complicated and sometimes uncomfortable.
Saba Sams leans into that messiness, exploring characters who are flawed but deeply recognizable. You may not always agree with them, but you’ll understand them, and more importantly, you’ll care about what happens to them. She captures the awkward rhythms of everyday life, the strange conversations, the emotional misfires, the moments that feel insignificant until you realize they’re quietly shaping everything.
