Description
Dark Water by Sara Bailey is a haunting and lyrical novel that explores adolescent yearning and obsession. Set against the backdrop of the Orkney Islands, the story follows Helena as she returns to her childhood home and confronts memories she's spent half a lifetime running from. The disappearance of her best friend Anastasia after a swimming incident sets off a chain of events that plummets into darkness. With the island's rugged landscape and the sea's mysterious power, Bailey masterfully weaves together a tale of intense teenage friendship, first love, and family ties. As the story unfolds, the lines between past and present blur, and Helena is drawn inexorably towards a dark conclusion. A spellbinding and suspenseful read, Dark Water will keep you enthralled until the very last word.
