Críticas:

"I could not put down Lucy Clarke's engaging debut, Swimming at Night. As Katie searched for the truth about her sister's death, I savored being an armchair traveler to seaside locales around the world."--Amanda Eyre Ward, author of Close Your Eyes and How to Be Lost

"A tender and intricate meditation on sisterhood and family, Swimming at Night is an accomplished debut. With a deft hand, Lucy Clarke weaves a deep and compelling story that is as much about what binds us together as it is about what tears us apart. Perfectly capturing the impossibly complicated love of siblings, this is a rich and moving story that lingers long after the book is closed."--Lisa Unger, author of Heartbroken and Beautiful Lies

"Swimming at Night reaches deep, exploring sibling relationships, love, friendship, identity, and the willingness to put it all on the line in order to learn the truth. I loved my own journey with these two sisters and the haunting landscape of their travels!"--Ellen Sussman, author of French Lessons and The Paradise Guest House

"Brilliant. . . the characters and locations come alive."--The Oklahoman

"The plot twists are good--too good to spoil--and there is just enough of Tasmania's rough wildness to transport the reader. . . . Clarke weaves secrets and betrayals and the inner journey of a quiet, appealing Everywoman."--Booklist

"An intensely emotional story of love, loss and deception . . . Clarke skillfully envelops readers in a delicate, romantic story tinged with intrigue and set in a breathtakingly exotic locale."--Kirkus Reviews

"A satisfying exploration of two sisters' relationship, cleverly put together and written in a way that draws the reader along."--Free-Lance Star

"In the same vein as Rosamund Lupton's Sister, Clarke takes the reader on an exciting and mysterious trail. . . . [She] does a nice job of creating characters who make us care about them and situations that are exciting and believable. A great read for fans of smart contemporary women's fiction as well as thriller and mystery readers."--Library Journal (starred review)

"Alternating chapters juxtaposing the two sisters' lives engage readers from the start in Clarke's accomplished debut."--Booklist

Reseña del editor:

From the celebrated author of Swimming at Night, a powerful and moving saga of one woman’s struggle to overcome her husband’s death and uncover his dark, mysterious past.

A young widow discovers her husband was not who he claimed to be—and finds herself falling in love with the wrong man.

Eva has only been married for eight months when her husband, Jackson, is swept to his death while fishing. Weighed down by confusion and sorrow, Eva decides to take leave of her midwifery practice and visit Jackson’s estranged family with the hope of grieving together.

Instead, she discovers that the man she loved so deeply is not the man she thought she knew. Jackson’s father and brother reveal a dark past, exposing the lies her marriage was built upon. As Eva struggles to come to terms with the depth of Jackson’s deception, she must also confront her growing attraction to Jackson’s brother, Saul, who offers her intimacy, passion, and answers to her most troubling questions.

Will Eva be able to move forward, or will she be caught up in a romance with Saul, haunted by her husband’s past? Threading together beautiful, wild settings and suspenseful twists, A Single Breath is a gripping tale of secrets, betrayals, and new beginnings.
