Winter Under Water by James Hopkin
An impressive and distinctive debut, Winter Under Water tells a haunting story of love, language, and underground womenSentence by sentence, image by image, there are few contemporary writers who understand words the way Hopkin does. In fact, I can think of no other. If you care about fine writing, read Winter Under Water. -- M J Hyland
