The Water Cure
bySophie Mackintosh
Waterstones Welsh Book of the Month for June 2019
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018
'Bold, inventive, haunting... With shades of Margaret Atwood and Eimear McBride, you'll be bowled over by it' - Stylist
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. Hypnotic, dreamlike and compulsive, the blazing literary debut of summer 2018.
