Book Overview

"A gripping, sinister fable " --Margaret Atwood, via Twitter ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR - GLAMOUR - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING - LIT HUB - THRILLISTKing has tenderly staked out a territory for his wife and three daughters, Grace, Lia, and Sky. Here on his island, women are protected from the chaos and violence of men on the mainland. The cult-like rituals and therapies they endure fortify them from the spreading toxicity of a degrading world. But when King disappears and two men and a boy wash ashore, the sisters' safe world begins to unravel. Over the span of one blistering hot week, a psychological cat-and-mouse game plays out. Sexual tensions and sibling rivalries flare as the sisters are forced to confront the amorphous threat the strangers represent. A haunting, riveting debut, The Water Cure is a fiercely poetic feminist revenge fantasy that's a startling reflection of our time. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A little twisted but decent

By Raj2, January 14, 2023 Verified Purchase

This book didn't suck me in so it took quite a while to finish. That being said, I do think it was interesting although a little dark and twisted with the physical and mental torture the children endured. The second half was better than the first.
