King has tenderly staked out a territory for his wife and three daughters, Grace, Lia, and Sky.
Here on his island, women are protected from the chaos and violence of men on the mainland.
The cult-like rituals and therapies they endure fortify them from the spreading toxicity of a degrading world.
But when King disappears and two men and a boy wash ashore, the sisters’ safe world begins to unravel.
Over the span of one blistering hot week, a psychological cat-and-mouse game plays out.
Sexual tensions and sibling rivalries flare as the sisters are forced to confront the amorphous threat the strangers represent.
A haunting, riveting debut, The Water Cure is a fiercely poetic feminist revenge fantasy that’s a startling reflection of our time.
