Description
A man loses his daughter while swimming one summer. This little gem of a novella–sad and beautiful and spellbinding all at once–is the tale of how he strives to be reunited with her again, whether back home on dry land or thousands of miles underwater. Racked with guilt and doubt, he lingers over her memory, refusing to let her go. He imagines and reimagines the moment she slipped away from him as he searches for her behind every rock, in every bush, in every wave.

Editorial Reviews
“Every phrase is a foghorn, and every utterance rasps. Almost too tender to touch.” — Foreword Reviews
“A picture of tenderness and a true-to-life image of the gaping hole left in the heart by loss.” — World Literature Today
“A new literary voice of remarkable density.” — Le Devoir
