Review
" Darkly mysterious and deeply compelling love story from a master storyteller. Highly recommended. - Inis "The style and structure, though spare and taut, still manages to allow room for interweaving fictions which, at times, are heartbreaking in their poignancy." - Irish Times Kate Thompson is always worth reading, and her Annan Water (Bodley Head, [pound]10.99) is yet another intriguingly different story.... a beautiful, self-harming new girl neighbour provides relief, however troubled, with the two teenagers almost but not quite re-enacting the tragic ballad upon which this well-written and deeply romantic story is based. - The Independent Kate Thompson writes beautifully. - The School Librarian"
