Reviews

Calls to mind fiction by Margaret Atwood and Michel Faber although stylistically Chanter has developed a strong voice of her own . . . The novel's greatest power is lyrical language: this unsettling tale is awash with imagery of water as Chanter explores the sense of identity as fluid, truth a slippery thing, certainties dissolving. Fiction proves a terrific tool for testing what exists and what is merely a fragment of the imagination . . . As love and water drain out of characters' lives, language swells in to tell a frightening and forceful story about what sustains and nourishes us, what keeps us well
