It is such a buzz to hear people are reading The Polite Act of Drowning. It is even better when I hear a reader's thoughts on the novel. Maireád Hearne of Swirl & Thread had this to say:
The Polite Act of Drowning slowly develops into an all-encompassing story of The Kennedy family and the close-knit community of Kettle Lake over one hot, sultry summer. A very evocative and melancholy tale, Charleen Hurtubise has written a layered story that disconcerts and elicits many emotions. An intense debut highlighting many difficult themes, The Polite Act of Drowning comes alive with strong descriptions and wonderful characters, all beautifully portrayed with a sensitive hand.
