Introducing Into the Water

INTO THE WATER IS PAULA HAWKINS’ SECOND BOOK AFTER her international #1 bestseller The Girl on the Train which sold over 18 million copies worldwide. Hawkins is one of the few women writers—along with Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott—who have made the suspense thriller even more captivating by adding elements of psychological subtlety and social unease.  In this new novel, Hawkins once more puts complex women characters at the core, highlighting her keen understanding of human instincts to bring to the fore the novel’s major theme—how memories can be unreliable and how this can make fatal repercussions in one’s present life.

Right after Jules is informed by the police that her sister Nel Abbott has drowned to death, she goes home to Beckford after many years of absence. With memories of her life with her sister flooding her mind, she begins to wonder whether her sister really committed suicide as was thought of. Nel’s willfulness and that she loved to swim in the river do not add up to the suicide theory.

We learn from the perspective of other characters that Nel’s death is just one of the many drowning incidents that happened in that small town and in the same drowning pool. Katie Whittaker died in the same water a few weeks before Nel’s death. She is the best friend of Lena, Nel’s 15-year old daughter. Extremely sad with the loss of her mother and best friend, Lena refuses to take comfort from Jules whom she barely knows. Lena also wonders who her father is, getting no clue from her mother. She thinks her father is most likely not a good person.
