The Drowning Girl

The Drowning Girl can be a confusing book, but it is also a fascinating one. Told from the point of view of a very mentally ill woman named Imp, the story follows her relationship with Abalyn, and her encounter(s) with a mysterious woman named Eva Canning (who might be a ghost, a wolf, a mermaid...). Imp weaves her story with cultural references both real and fictional, building an unsettling tapestry of a ghost story from each thread. Less an account of a series of events, the novel is more about Imp's experiences, perceptions and state of mind. It's definitely not a traditional ghost story, but it is a novel that is atmospheric, immersive, and creative.
