About

Oprah's Book Club Pick

Reminiscent of the haunting romance and mystery of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, Christina Schwarz's first novel is a story of familial love, sibling rivalry, duty, loyalty, and a possible murder. Exhausted from her duties as a nurse, Amanda Starkey retreats to her younger sister Mattie's farm to rest. When Mattie is found drowned in a nearby lake, Amanda must take charge of Mattie's young daughter, Ruth, and explain to Mattie's husband, Carl, mysterious bite marks on her hand and Ruth's strange memory of drowning. Told in both Amanda's and Ruth's voices, "Drowning Ruth" is a suspenseful tale of love and devotion bordering on insanity. Guiding us through the lives of the Starkey women, Schwarz's remarkable debut shows her compassion and great understanding of the American landscape and the people who live in it.
