THE LITERARY DEBUT OF THE SUMMER 2018 'A gripping, sinister fable'
- MARGARET ATWOOD, via Twitter 'An extraordinary debut novel.
Otherworldly, luminous, precise... She is writing the way that
Sofia Coppola would shoot the end of the world' Guardian 'Bold,
inventive, haunting... With shades of Margaret Atwood and Eimear
McBride, you'll be bowled over by it' Stylist 'Visceral,
hypnotic... with one of my favourite endings I've read in a long
while' The Pool Imagine a world very close to our own: where women
are not safe in their bodies, where desperate measures are required
to raise a daughter. This is the story of Grace, Lia and Sky, kept
apart from the world for their own good and taught the terrible
things that every woman must learn about love. And it is the story
of the men who come to find them - three strangers washed up by the
sea, their gazes hungry and insistent, trailing desire and
destruction in their wake. The Water Cure is a fever dream, a
blazing vision of suffering, sisterhood and transformation.
'Immensely assured, calmly devastating' Katherine Angel, author of
Unmastered 'A work of cool, claustrophobic beauty' Eli Goldstone,
author of Strange Heart Beating 'Eerily beautiful, strange [and]
unsettling' Paula Hawkins, author ofThe Girl on the Train
'Otherworldly, brutal and poetic: a feminist fable set by the sea,
a female Lord of the Flies. It felt like a book I'd been waiting to
read for a long time' Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals
