Book Synopsis "A gripping, sinister fable!" --Margaret Atwood, via Twitter ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR - GLAMOUR - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING - LIT HUB - THRILLIST King has tenderly staked out a territory for his wife and three daughters, Grace, Lia, and Sky. Here on his island, women are protected from the chaos and violence of men on the mainland. The cult-like rituals and therapies they endure fortify them from the spreading toxicity of a degrading world. But when King disappears and two men and a boy wash ashore, the sisters' safe world begins to unravel. Over the span of one blistering hot week, a psychological cat-and-mouse game plays out. Sexual tensions and sibling rivalries flare as the sisters are forced to confront the amorphous threat the strangers represent. A haunting, riveting debut, The Water Cure is a fiercely poetic feminist revenge fantasy that's a startling reflection of our time. Review Quotes "Chilling. . . . Unsettling. . . . Feels both futuristic and like an eerily familiar fable." --The New York Times "Remarkable. . . . Mackintosh seamlessly weaves together the themes of Shakespeare . . . with the very modern issue of toxic masculinity." --The Washington Post "Sensational. . . . Part fable, part feminist dystopia, Mackintosh's taut novel turns a keen, unsparing eye on violence, patriarchy, and desire." --Esquire "Mackintosh's novel follows in the footsteps of The Handmaid's Tale . . . but this debut has its own alluring style." --Vogue "Ingenious and incendiary." --Laura Miller, The New Yorker "A tart, uncanny debut novel." --NPR "Haunting. . . . Sumptuous." --The New York Times Book Review "Gorgeously dark, disturbing, and provocative." --San Francisco Chronicle "This harrowing book manages, somehow, to simultaneously walk the line between fairy tale, coming-of-age tale, and morality tale. It does them all with plenty of intensity, and with muscular prose to boot." --Thrillist "Eerie and quietly stunning." --Bomb "Creepy and sexy in equal measure." --The Independent "An evocative coming-of-age novel." --Kirkus Reviews "[An] intense, ambitious debut." --Publishers Weekly "An extraordinary otherworldly debut. . . . [Mackintosh] is writing the way that Sofia Coppola would shoot the end of the world: everything is luminous, precise, slow to the point of dread." --The Guardian "This chilling dystopia feels like a fable for a modern era, and a must-read for women today." --Good Housekeeping "A haunting, disturbing look into the ways in which young women are failed by those closest to them, and how those failures echo outward, poisoning all of existence." --Nylon "There's something Joni Mitchell-esque about the lyrical, emotional tone of the prose. . . . Mackintosh's profound faith in sisterhood imbues her particular dark vision with beauty and a kind of hope." --Newsday "A feminist dystopian fairy tale--evocative, suspenseful, and bleak--in short, everything this age seems to be demanding." --Fresh Air "Demonstrate[s] why the subtlest fiction is often the most powerful." --Vulture "This riveting debut adds another dimension to a post-Handmaid's Tale world." --The Telegraph "Startling. . . . Mackintosh is a wonderful stylist; the full scope of her imagination, as well as the cohesion of her vision, is evident on every page." --The Irish Times "A hypnotic read. . . . This extraordinary debut is a feminist quasi-dystopian read for fans of Hot Milk, The Girls, and The Vegetarian." --Elle (UK) About the Author Sophie Mackintosh won the 2016 White Review Short Story Prize and the 2016 Virago/Stylist Short Story competition, and has been published in Granta magazine and Tank magazine, among others. The Water Cure is her first novel.
