Synopsis
When the thing you love most is taken from you, how do you move on When Megan and Rex Van Dorn sail into Houndfish Cay, they look to all the world like a couple who have left the cares of the shore behind them to live their dream. But when people ask, 'Do you have children ', Megan doesn't know how to answer. For Megan and Rex took to the water following the death of their only child, Evan, in a road accident - killed by Cindy Ann Kreisler, who, back when they were teenagers, had been Megan's best friend. Impassioned, intense and insightful, BLUE WATER is a story of the desire for revenge, the impact of tragedy upon a marriage, and of Megan's coming to terms with the ties she shares with the woman who has wounded her so badly.
Review
This is the story of a powerfully honest exploration of the grief and the rage the loss of a child inspires. Blue Water is one of the most heartfelt portraits you could read of a mother struggling with her need for revenge.
In telling the story of the woman who accidentally took that child's life, it is also a novel that challengers our desire to attribute blame.
A wonderful book of how a couple cope with the loss of their daughter - they take to the sea to sail around the world! Although this book is well written I found it hard to read and yet supprisingly it is not a weepy but I think for some it will be.
