A review by youcancallmefi
Water by John Boyne

dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense slow-paced

4.5

 

John Boyne writing will never fail to unleash a million of raw emotions, all at once. Proof that you don’t need 600 pages to pack a punch in a story. 

Water is a beautiful portrait of sorrow, grief, motherhood and making peace with yourself.  Even if you have not experienced the horrific things our main character has (and I hope you never will) the author’s writing is so sublime tat makes you feel you are her, feeling it all under your skin, experiencing shock and heaviness in your heart. 

I am not sure what took me so long to pick this up, but I am so glad I finally did. I cannot wait for the rest of the elements novels to be released.
