Author Biography When Carmel Bendon isnt writing shes lecturing at university or giving talks to general audiences on "all things medieval." With a PhD in Medieval Literature and Culture she has published in academic journals and authored the successful non-fiction book Mysticism and Space. At home in Sydney she lives with her husband, a faithful dog, and a wild garden. She is the proud mother of three adult daughters. Grasping at Water is her first novel. Review "Carmel Bendons superb novel takes the reader from the most intriguing premise into a world of mysterious possibility that skirts mysticism, the limits of spirituality and the different ways in which we all approach the truth. In a world of carefully spun stories that are whispered in dreams and to doctors and nuns, can we ever really reach a rational conclusion in a world where nothing can ever be certain? And can we ever firmly conclude the facts that lie at the heart of fantasies? This is a tremendous, playful and richly poetic book that speaks to the storyteller inside all of us." --Walter Mason, author of Destination Saigon and Destination Cambodia"Grasping at Water beguiles with its strong sense of mystery, history, character and place. When an inscrutable young woman is plucked, alive, from the glistening waters of Sydney Harbour, her psychiatrist, Kathryn Brookley, becomes immersed in a tale that defies logic and time. As Kathryns quest for truth morphs into a voyage of self discovery, this spiritual page-turner draws you under its spell." -- Michele Seminara, Verity La"Finely written historical mysticism entwined with a modern mystery, Carmel Bendons stunning debut sizzles with originality and intrigue. Grasping at Water is the thinking-persons thriller thats sure to whet the literary appetites of readers the world over." -- Amanda Hickey, journalist and filmmaker Details ISBN1925652416 Author Carmel Bendon Publisher Odyssey Books Language English Year 2018 ISBN-10 1925652416 ISBN-13 9781925652413 Format Paperback Imprint Odyssey Books Illustrations Illustrations, black and white Place of Publication Fyshwick, ACT Country of Publication Australia Pages 246 Media Book AU Release Date 2018-10-01 NZ Release Date 2018-10-01 Publication Date 2018-10-01 UK Release Date 2018-10-01 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
