A Very Fact told in an Unusual, Mesmerizing & lyrical Way!  BOOK: The Water Cure AUTHOR: Sophie Mackintosh PUBLISHERS: Hamish Hamilton RELEASE DATE: 14/6/2018 GENRE: Feminine Dystopia BLURB: Imagine a world very close to our own: where women are not safe in their bodies, where desperate measures are required to raise a daughter. This is the story of Grace, Lia and Sky, kept apart from the world for their own good and taught the terrible things that every woman must learn about love. And it is the story of the men who come to find them - three strangers washed up by the sea, their gazes hungry and insistent, trailing desire and destruction in their wake. The Water Cure is a fever dream, a blazing vision of suffering, sisterhood and transformation. REVIEW: I wanted to read the books from 'Man Booker Prize 2018 Longlist' & for it's astonishing blurb & unique concept, I picked it. It is book that will actually leave you stunned
