Krátký popis
An elegant, atmospheric, emotional coming-of-age novel with themes
of generational trauma, sexual identity and coping with mental
illness at its heart, as well as the silence of women drowning in
plain view in their daily lives.'The Polite Act of Drowning is a
beautiful and captivating novel, lyrical and sensuous, a precise
and faithful evocation of the tumult and trauma of family life, and
of emergence into adulthood, and the confrontation of truths about
ourselves and the people we love' - Donal RyanMichigan, 1985.The
drowning of a teenage girl causes ripples in the small town of
Kettle Lake, though for most the waters settle quickly. For sixteen
year old Joanne Kennedy, however, the tragedy dredges up untold
secrets and causes her mother to drift farther from reality and her
family.When troubled newcomer Lucinda arrives in town, she offers
Joanne a chance of real friendship, and together the teenagers push
against the boundaries of family, self-image, and their sexuality
during the tension of a long, stifling summer. But the
undercurrents of past harms continuously threaten to drag Joanne
and those around her under...Perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads
