I’m curious if a Dekker can tell a story that doesn’t have the same message or use the same theme of dying to yourself through water….which sounds a lot like drowning in the real world. Which is exactly what this book is about. Drowning. And then she is seen to be literally crazy in the head for trying to drown herself, and others. Um, yes. Rightly so. I just didn’t get this one. And it was just so repetitive with little to nothing actually happening. Could have been a short story instead of a book.
