Description

Presenting one of the teenage novels of the nineties, this title is a poetic exploration of grief and loss. Following the story of Jess's dying grandfather, and the marathon river swim Jess becomes caught up in, it uses poetic and surreal images of water and swimming to deal with the difficult subjects of death and loss.
