All the Water in the World: A tender novel of love and loss by Karen Raney

'VERY MOVING, A WARM AND COMPASSIONATE NOVEL' Diana Evans

Maddy is sixteen. She has loyal friends, a mother with whom she's unusually close, a father she's never met, devoted grandparents, and a crush on a boy named Jack. Maddy is also dying.

Told alternately by Maddy and her mother, Eve, All the Water in the World is a heart-breaking story of a family doing its best when faced with the worst, and a poignant testimony to the transformative power of love.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. Unafraid to probe the complexities of parenthood and partnership, Raney is an author to watch * Booklist *
An exquisite tracing of the tangled lines of mother-daughter love, loss, and grief * Kirkus *
Beautiful, raw, bold, heartfelt, heartbreaking and brave just some of the words to describe this excellent book - one to watch for 2020. * CenSational Reads *
