Review:
"A tender and intricate meditation on sisterhood and family, "Swimming at Night" is an accomplished debut. With a deft hand, Lucy Clarke weaves a deep and compelling story that is as much about what binds us together as it is about what tears us apart. Perfectly capturing the impossibly complicated love of siblings, this is a rich and moving story that lingers long after the book is closed."--Lisa Unger, author of In the Blood
""Swimming at Night" reaches deep, exploring sibling relationships, love, friendship, identity, and the willingness to put it all on the line in order to learn the truth. I loved my own journey with these two sisters and the haunting landscape of their travels!"--Ellen Sussman, author of French Lessons and The Paradise Guest House
"I could not put down Lucy Clarke's engaging debut, "Swimming at Night." As Katie searched for the truth about her sister's death, I savored being an armchair traveler to seaside locales around the world."--Amanda Eyre Ward, author of Close Your Eyes and How to Be Lost
"Tense and atmospheric, THE BLUE begins as an exotic adventure and turns chilling as tragedy and secrets unfold on the open sea. Clarke vividly depicts the ocean voyage in this immersive tale--both the beauty of an idyllic escape and its descent into something more sinister."-- Laura McHugh, author of The Weight of Blood"
"[Clarke] paints brilliant images of physical surroundings and takes readers on an emotional journey as she explores the fragile bonds that connect each crew member to the others. . . . The narrative is punctuated with interesting, unpredictable plot twists that keep coming until the final page." --Kirkus Reviews
