This is a searing, intimate story about mothers and daughters, unity and alienation, and the light at the end of the tunnel.
People of all ages, genders, and social circles go to the pool. On the lanes of the pool they find a sense of community, solace, and meaning. However, when a crack appears at the bottom, everything changes. Without a daily meditative routine, Alice gradually loses touch with reality. Like water leaving a pool, her memory drifts away to nowhere, and Alice's daughter feels her mother inevitably slipping away from her, only to actually grow closer as the years-long crack between them disappears. Written in a mesmerizing, elegiac style, the novel sets the mood for acceptance of the natural course of things and asserts that everything that happens in the world is reasonable, and that there is a pinching and transforming beauty in everything.
