All the Water in the World

內容簡介

內容簡介 Told in the alternating voices of forty-something Eve and sixteen-year-old Maddy, who has cancer, All the Water in the World is a graceful, heartbreaking account of maternal love and the philosophical and emotional questing of adolescence. Alternating between the familys lake house in Pennsylvania, their home in Washington, D.C., and London, the dual narrative follows Maddy through her illness and two secrets: her first love and her decision to search for her birth father, whom she has never met. As Maddy grows sicker, she expands her horizons by turning to art and, with the help of her boyfriend and a passionate teacher, environmentalism, while Eve must come to terms with the daughter she loves and only partly knows. Through Maddy's funny, fierce, indelible voice, All the Water in the World explores big questions about loss and meaning and the fate of the world.
