( Paperback )

Buy£9.99

A journey of addiction, grief and the healing power of art – the highly acclaimed memoir from the author of The Book of Joan.

From the debris of her troubled early life, Lidia Yuknavitch weaves an astonishing tale of survival. It is a life that navigates, and transcends, abuse, addiction, self-destruction and the crushing loss of a stillborn child. A kind of memoir that is also a paean to the pursuit of beauty, self-expression, desire - for men and women - and the exhilaration of swimming, The Chronology of Water lays a life bare.

“Rendered with incredible grace … Like water, the memoir takes on an unpredictable journey … This is a story grounded in womanhood and what it means to be a woman in this world where women are all too often victimised by those who are meant to care for us most … Entrancing” ROXANE GAY
