Recensione
'Margaret Leroy's eerily lovely novel The Drowning Girl is one of those rare books you'll sit with till your bones ache. The mystery of why 4-year-old Sylvie longs to return to a house she has never seen, a family she cannot have known, takes this peculiar child, her anxious single mother, and a romantically scruffy psychologist onto the windswept beaches of a tiny coastal Irish village a setting as enchantingly perilous as childhood itself.' --Oprah Magazine
'This is a really special book. Sylvie s vulnerability is so powerfully drawn, so flesh-and-blood real, that you want to reach into the pages and protect her yourself.' --Louise Candlish, bestselling author of Since I Don't Have You
'This is a really enjoyable book and perfect holiday reading.' --Adele Geras, bestselling author of A Hidden Life
