With the same sparse style, dark yet jewel like, familiar from previous works Cynan leaves much space for the reader to do some imaginative work.
This time the setting is a dystopian near future, in which water has become a commodity of scarcity around which live has to revolve, but it is a story of human encounter. Ordinary human misery transcends the context in which it is placed.
Each chapter is an episode that could stand alone, product of its origin on the radio, and you have to fit them together unclear about the chronological relationship – in particular between the opening and closing chapters. Amidst the shadows are you putting two and two together and getting five? You can not be a passive reader, you have to read closely, and in a certain way you have to make the story for yourself.
