Water
Davidsen, Trond: Vann
Rachel is the main character and narrator in the novel Water. Rachel goes to the indoor swimming pool every single day. She is a competing swimmer with great self discipline, and is in strict training before an important championship. At the same time, Davidsen gives the child Rachel a voice, the way she has perceived herself in relation to her family.
This is a gripping portrait of a young mind, where the element water is persistently and disturbingly present throughout.
