Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

LOVE READING STAR BOOK AND DEBUT OF THE MONTH 'Welsh Noir at its best. Sparkling prose, complex characters, and an intimate plot that shimmers with honesty.' – Philippa Holloway "Suspenseful and suffused in the uncanny power of the ever-shifting tides of a Welsh estuary, Carys Shannon’s Truth Like Water is a first-rate mystery novel. Rippling with the dark revelations of a rural village and the family secrets of a young woman who’s all but lost to grief and the agony of not knowing the truth, it’s a sublimely-written work." – Joanne Owen, LoveReading (Star book) 'Carys Shannon’s debut Truth Like Water is as atmospheric and evocative as the scent of the salt marsh itself, and the intertwined stories that emerge are quietly devastating.' – Emma Darwin The debut novel from an award-winning short story writer. It was awarded a Literature Wales development grant and earlier versions have been longlisted for the Bath and Mslexia Novel Awards and shortlisted for the Caledonia Novel Award. In 2020 it won the Jericho Writers Festival of Writing Prize.
