In pursuit of color, fire, and the unknown.

Ophelia abandons her home in Amsterdam and embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes her across the globe. Led by strange connections and coincidences, she sets out on a solo trip to Lanzarote, travels to Arizona and California, and finally settles on the island of Bali, where she grapples with heartbreak and rebels against life. Ophelia senses that life could easily flip upside down. Where is the edge of it? How far is she allowed to go?

Violet Syrup is Sophia Molen's debut novel. Tender, dark, and philosophical in nature, Violet Syrup is a love letter to life, meant for anyone who feels and thinks deeply.
