4.5 ⭐️ “Water is where I began, and it is the element that has taken me full circle. Throughout my life, I have felt exquisite pain and loss alongside side-splitting hilarity, euphoria, wonder and love. The water doesn't take away these emotions but provides me with an anchor in which to rest them, a space to lay them aside just for a moment. Water is not everything, there is no panacea, yet it helps me to notice myself and my world, and to give myself time to heal.”
This is the most extraordinary book on loss and grief and connection and the profound joy of getting into water. I devoured it, and swam between reads. An absolute joy.
