Who is Gertie, and where is she going?
At an airport she cannot quite place, surrounded by faces she should recognise, Gertie tries to hold onto the fragments of her life. Memories drift in and out - her childhood in Burma, young motherhood at sea, the husband she both loves and fears. But as time unravels, so does her sense of reality.With each passing chapter, the world around Gertie grows more disjointed, slipping through her grasp like water. A stranger lurks in her home. A familiar street becomes a foreign land. The past and present merge, and the boundary between memory and illusion blurs beyond repair.
Haunting, lyrical, and deeply moving, Everything is Made of Water captures the fragile threads of memory and selfhood that hold a life together - until they don't.
