Description
Carmel McKisco's life is a complex web of longing and regret. Working nights in a Manchester bar, she navigates a world of eccentric customers and daydreams of escape to Cornwall. As the rain-soaked days blend together, Carmel finds herself drawn back to her past loves and adolescent heroes, forcing her to confront the choices that have shaped her life. With a voice that is both sharp and sentimental, tender and sassy, Gwendoline Riley's debut novel offers a poignant portrayal of young adulthood. Her characters are memorable and flawed, imbued with a subtle sense of loneliness beneath their banter and whimsy. This is a story about how people drift into and out of each other's lives, and the search for one's place in the world. A cool and assured exploration of love, loss, and identity, Cold Water is a compelling read that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
