Bloomsbury presents The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan, read by Izzy Meikle-Small

A poetic, gifty offering that combines first love, friendship, and persistent courage in this lyrical immigration story told in verse.

Carrying just a suitcase and an old laundry bag filled with clothes, Kasienka and her mother are immigrating to England from Poland. Kasienka isn't the happiest girl in the world. At home, her mother is suffering from a broken heart as she searches for Kasienka's father. And at school, Kasienka is having trouble being the new girl and making friends. The only time she feels comforted is when she's swimming at the pool. But she can't quite shake the feeling that she's sinking. Until a new boy swims into her life, and she learns that there might be more than one way to stay afloat.

The Weight of Water is a coming-of-age story that deftly handles issues of immigration, alienation, and first love. Moving and poetically rendered, this novel-in-verse is the story of a young girl whose determination to find out who she is prevails.©2012 Sarah Crossan (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica

Poignant, powerful, just perfect.
This is an amazing and poignant book, that is so beautifully written that I didn't even realise I had finished it until I had turned the last page.
It's a refreshing read, something new and interesting, whether you're a fan of fiction or poetry you'll enjoy it. Totally brilliant and we can't recommend it enough.
Sarah Crossan's debut piece is a brilliant, realistic, heart-breaking but ultimately life-affirming tale.
