Story of the drowning of a child in a backyard pool. Viewed from each surviving family member's perspective. Insights into the grief, trauma, guilt, confusion and anger experienced. ( )
Not sure about it. Quick to read, I was interested in what would happen to them all. Don’t think anyone who has actually experienced the death of a child could go anywhere near this book. ( )
This is a pretty good book, I reckon. It's all about what happens when a marriage that is already stressed is subject to the trauma of the drowning of their toddler in a backyard pool. How can any person survive this? What does it do the the survivors? The fact that the author is such a survivor is probably why the characters' responses seem so realistic. I didn't give it 5 stars because I thought the final outcome was a little too commercial. But maybe I'm wrong. ( )

The boy steps into the day like he owns it - like he is, in fact, God and has conjured this up with a sweep of his hand before breakfast: this achingly blue sky, this currawong sending out a ringing call from the verandah post, this water dragon sunning on a warm rock to loosen her scales, cocking her head and blinking a yellow eye in his direction.
