'There are few things on earth smaller than this country.'Alice, a young American, arrives in the West of Ireland with no plans and no strong attachments – except to her beloved mother, who raised her on her own. Alice falls in love with an Irishman, marries him, and settles down in a place she scarcely knows. And then, in the course of a single hot summer, she embarks on an affair that breaks her marriage and sets her life on a new path.Years later, in the aftermath of her mother’s death, Alice finds herself back in Ireland, contemplating that summer and the things that followed. What drew her to her husband, and what pulled her away? And how do we know when we’ve found our place in the world?When Light is Like Water is at once a gripping story of passion and ambivalence and a profound meditation on the things that matter most: the definition of love, the value of family and the meaning of home.
