A Taste Of Chlorine, Hardback Book

A Taste Of Chlorine Hardback

Description

A teenage boy suffering from curvature of the spine begins swimming every week at the local pool, at the repeated request of his chiropractor.

In the interior and echoing world of the swimming pool, surrounded by anonymous bodies and in between lengths, he becomes acquainted with a girl who agrees to give him pointers on his poor technique.

It is the start of a tentative friendship, one that exists only in the water, every Wednesday; a friendship made up of touches, gestures and shared silences more than conversation.

As their relationship develops, the boy's need for the girl grows, until the pool becomes for him a place freighted with expectancy and longing.

One day, she mouths a message underwater - but what could it mean?

Chlorine is an intimate and evocative work, revealing in simple yet beautifully-drawn and coloured panels an extraordinary world.

With it, Bastien Vives confirms his place as one of the most original and promising young writers of today.
