From the acclaimed author of Ghost Wall, Summerwater is a devastating
story told over twenty-four hours in the Scottish highlands, and a
searing exploration of our capacity for both kinship and cruelty in
these divided times.
On the longest day of the summer, twelve people sit cooped up with
their families in a faded Scottish cabin park. The endless rain leaves
them with little to do but watch the other residents.
A woman goes running up the Ben as if fleeing; a retired couple
reminisce about neighbours long since moved on; a teenage boy braves
the dark waters of the loch in his red kayak. Each person is wrapped in
their own cares but increasingly alert to the makeshift community
around them. One particular family, a mother and daughter without the
right clothes or the right manners, starts to draw the attention of the
others. Tensions rise and all watch on, unaware of the tragedy that
lies ahead as night finally falls.
