5.0 out of 5 stars
Deeper than it seems,
By Magz (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Water Dancer: A Novel (Hardcover)
This first novel by Jenifer Levin has been a favorite of mine for almost 20 years. It's not a typical story, but the surface tale of a long distance swimmer training for a difficult swim is only the center of several underlying journeys. At its core, it's about transformation and breakthroughs. The style is very fluid and visually rich; and because it's a first novel, it's very free and courageous, and still my favorite Levin book (of the 3 I've read).
