Resonant of Alice Munro, Paddy O'Reilly's novella 'Deep Water' submerges* the reader into the hard scrabble world of a child. Life's big events can't make it past the sorry choke in your throat; small moments of fear and wonderment burn into your skin like a hot 50 cent piece.

88 pages of seawater-sweet observation & emotional weight. Dive right in.

* Yes, I had to.
