It is 1941. Only child Leo invites schoolfriend Justin to stay the
summer on the western tip of Cornwall. Addicted to adventure tales,
one night they swim out to investigate a supposed 'spy ship' moored
off the coast. The outcome is unnerving for the boys but momentous
for Leo's mother Andrea, bringing her into contact with Lieutenant
Commander Mike Harrington. 'Tim Jeal is a great storyteller... Deep
Water is not only an extremely gripping novel, it is also
thought-provoking and it subjects the conventional ideas about
heroism, romantic love and adventure to a subtle yet searching
examination.' Irish News 'A very satisfying novel... brilliantly
done.' Nina Bawden, The Oldie 'Jeal brilliantly conveys a child's
interpretation of the world... it is fascinating to watch a child
taking revenge on his mother and her lover in such a dramatic
fashion.' Times
