A young woman walks out on her life, taking only her young daughter. She drives down to the seaside and they spend the first night camping on the beach. The next day, they cross the border and stop in a small Spanish town. And there they stay. The old life of routine and immobility is transformed into one of freedom and fluidity. Mother and daughter play on the beach, go for walks, eat ice cream. They watch the ocean. And they make new contacts: with the owner of the flat, with a swimming instructor who is teaching the child and with a strangely hesitant private investigator, hired by the woman's deserted husband... Intensely sensual, simple yet unnerving, Breathing Underwater is Darrieussecq's tour de force. The novel was hailed in France as 'gripping' (Le Monde), 'truly inspired' (Elle) and 'the good news we've all been waiting for' (Le Figaro).… (altro)
A strange book - all atmosphere and very little plot. The prose is certainly striking - very poetic and elusive. The perspective kept shifting from one character to another but it was quite hard to know who was actually 'speaking' . All very vague and elusive - unlike anything else I've read but nevertheless not a book I enjoyed or would recommend. ( )

It’s a mouth, half open, breathing, but the chin, nose, and eyes are no longer there. It’s a mouth bigger than any mouth imaginable, rending space in two, expanding it, so that you must swivel your body in a semicircle to try seeing it all.

A group of retirees walks past, chatting in English; she finishes her coffee, straightens up to follow them. Boarding has begun.
