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.'Immensely assured, calmly devastating' Katherine Angel, author of Unmastered'A work of cool, claustrophobic beauty' Eli Goldstone, author of Strange Heart Beating'Eerily beautiful, strange [and] unsettling' Paula Hawkins, author ofThe Girl on the Train'Otherworldly, brutal and poetic: a feminist fable set by the sea, a female Lord of the Flies.
