Under the quiet surface of their life together, Ruth and her teenage daughter Julie struggle with the emotional residue of their abandonment by Julie's father, Simon. Lovers--the proverbial "other fish in the sea"--come and go for both, but Simon's memory survives all comers. Myths of mermaids and mermen and other real and imagined creatures of the water surface and then recede, leaving behind their stories of the seductiveness of the sea. Affecting and enthralling, "Water" explores unforgettably the territory that lies between betrayal and healing.

"Sue Thomas's second novel plunges us into an ocean of water imagery...fascinating."

Josephine Hart

"Thomas uses water imagery deftly to mesh plot, character and setting, carefully balancing imagination and actuality in liquid prose. Highly recommended."
