Let Me Be Like Water by S K Perry
A beautifully poignant and poetic debut about love, loss, friendship, and ultimately, starting over. Twenty-something Holly has moved to Brighton to escape. But now she's here, sitting on a bench, listening to the sea sway How is she supposed to fill the void her boyfriend left when he died, leaving her behind? She had thought she'd want to be on her own, but when she meets Frank, a retired magician who has experienced his own loss, the tide begins to shift. A moving and powerful debut, Let Me Be Like Water is a book about the humdrum and extraordinariness of everyday life; of lost and new connections; of loneliness and friendship.
'Raw, visceral and confident.. an affecting debut.' Daily Mail
