Strange and Atmospheric Novel

The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh
Publication Date - January 8, 2019
🌟🌟🌟1/2



I am a bit flummoxed on how to rate this book.  On the one hand it is beautifully written with atmospheric prose and an eerie plot.  It is also very strange, depressing and kind of vague.  It follows a family of sisters and their mother who live in an isolated beach house after the mysterious disappearance of their father.  It has tones of dystopia but it is really not clear until the end what is going on.  The inner monologue of the sisters (mostly Lia and Grace) is claustrophobic and often frustrating.  I'm interested to read what others think as there is quite a bit to discuss in this book.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
