Summary

From the debris of her troubled early life, Lidia Yuknavitch weaves an astonishing tale of survival. A kind of memoir that is also a peon to the pursuit of beauty, self-expression, desire - for men and women - and the exhilaration of swimming, The Chronology of Water lays a life bare.

It is a life that navigates and transcends abuse, addiction, self-destruction and the crushing loss of a stillborn child. It is the life of a misfit, one that forges a fierce and untrodden path to creativity and comes together in the shape of love.

Beautiful, Stunning, Raw

Beautiful, stunning, raw, honest, invigorating, jump off the roof screamingly good.

Be aware chapter A Sanctuary is repeated twice but it doesn’t take away from the story.

Narrator is incredible, it’s like listening to poetry for the soul.

You won’t regret reading it.

What’s with the echo?

I honestly got about 15 seconds into this and had to stop. It sounds like it’s being read in a cellar there’s that much echo. That’s one credit wasted.
