Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
'Intimate, ruthless, tender: this book is like medicine for the soul.' --Nina George, author of The Little Paris Bookshop
A beautifully poignant and poetic debut about love, loss, friendship, and ultimately, starting over.
Twenty-something Holly has moved to Brighton to escape her grief. But now that she's here, sitting on a bench, listening to the rolling waves, how is she supposed to fill the void her boyfriend left when he died?
She had thought she wanted to be on her own. But after a chance encounter with retired, part-time baker and book-club host, Frank, she is soon adopted by a new circle of friends, and the tides begin to shift. Beautifully written, Let Me Be Like Water is a moving and powerful debut about loneliness, friendship, the extraordinariness hiding in everyday life.
"Twenty-something Holly has moved to Brighton to escape. But now she's here, sitting on a bench, listening to the sea sway... How is she supposed to fill the void her boyfriend left when he died, leaving her behind? She had thought she'd want to be on her own, but when she meets Frank, a retired magician who has experienced his own loss, the tide begins to shift."--Provided by publisher.
