The first portion of the book read almost like two separate books. It dwelled either on Dylan and Daniel the Olympic swimmers and lovers or Ali and Allen the tennis pros and lovers. Then Ms Gouveia blended the four together and emotions, finances and relationships flew in the winds. I enjoyed the different POVs that changed with most every chapter. The interpersonal dynamics were very well developed as were the secondary characters. The twist at the end was a real surprise for me. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Daniel and Dylan are the top swimmers in the world; Alex and Ali, the top tennis players. They play for God, country, family, and the need to escape their troubled pasts. In their quest to be the best, they also harbor a secret: Each is in love with his rival. The four hit it off at the Summer Olympics in New York and reconnect on an island vacation that gives new meaning to doubles, round-robin, and preliminary heats. By then, the shifting professional fortunes of each couple have begun to signal a change in their personal relationships as well, one that will lead to new alliances and betrayal and engulf them in tragedy. Told from their alternating viewpoints, WATER MUSIC is about power, jealousy, dominance, and submission. It's about how the past informs the present and the future and how the choices made by nations, our families, and ourselves color our lives. Ultimately, it's the story of how we come to accept those choices and learn to live with loss through love. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
