Product Description
The Polite Act of Drowning
Author: Charleen Hurtubise
Format: Paperback
Michigan, 1985. When a teenage girl drowns, the small town of Kettle Lake soon moves on — but for sixteen-year-old Joanne Kennedy the death stirs up buried secrets and pulls her mother further from reality and her family.
The arrival of troubled newcomer Lucinda brings the promise of real friendship, and over one long, stifling summer the two girls test the limits of family, identity and desire, even as old wounds threaten to drag them under. A lyrical debut for readers of Where the Crawdads Sing.
