Résumé
'The tenderness and severity of Hopkin's vision is absolutely unique. This is a beautiful and moving novel.' - Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature When Joseph meets Marta, who has come to the UK to research the forgotten histories of remarkable women from across Europe, he is captivated, and Marta feels the same; when she returns to her previous life, their relationship continues through letters and phone calls.
Then Joseph decides to visit Marta in her native Poland. Interlinking Joseph's often strange experiences with Marta's letters to him, Winter Under Water is a book about who we are and who we choose to love; exploring issues of isolation and identity, of home and belonging, it is also, ultimately, a book that suggests you only truly know a person or a place when you can sit in silence and not feel compelled to break it -- in any language.
'Winningly confident .
