Deeper than it seems
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This first novel by Jenifer Levin has been a favorite of mine for almost 20 years. It's not a typical story, but the surface tale of a long distance swimmer training for a difficult swim is only the center of several underlying journeys. At its core, it's about transformation and breakthroughs. The style is very fluid and visually rich; and because it's a first novel, it's very free and courageous, and still my favorite Levin book (of the 3 I've read).
