A Journey of Love, Betrayal, and Self-Discovery
Aquarium is a riveting fictional memoir about Alina, a young woman torn between the passionate love she left behind in Ukraine and the pull of a new job aboard a cruise ship, The Jewel Eye.
As she embarks on a journey of transformation, Alina finds herself caught in a whirlwind of desire, self-doubt, and heartache, navigating toxic work conditions and romantic affairs, including a love triangle that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself.
Set in a hyper-masculine, hierarchical space,
Aquarium is also a powerful feminist account of what it means to be small, foreign, and female in a system built to silence. Alina’s story speaks to anyone who has ever felt like a “fish out of water,” struggling with toxic environments, romantic missteps, and cultural displacement while striving to stay afloat and discover who they truly are.
Through Alina's eyes, readers experience the brutal reality of life as a foreign crew member, where survival is a constant battle. Her journey is a reclaiming of voice, agency, and identity, as she wrestles with the tension between her past and the uncertain future ahead.
Written by a global storyteller with a unique cross-cultural perspective,
Aquarium is a romantic, unforgettable tale of longing, loss, and the difficult choices that shape our lives.
