A young woman walks out on her life, taking only her young daughter. She drives down to the seaside and they spend the first night camping on the beach. The next day, they cross the border and stop in a small Spanish town. And there they stay. The old life of routine and immobility is transformed into one of freedom and fluidity. Mother and daughter play on the beach, go for walks, eat ice cream. They watch the ocean. And they make new contacts: with the owner of the flat, with a swimming instructor who is teaching the child and with a strangely hesitant private investigator, hired by the woman's deserted husband... Intensely sensual, simple yet unnerving, Breathing Underwater is Darrieussecq's tour de force. The novel was hailed in France as 'gripping' (Le Monde), 'truly inspired' (Elle) and 'the good news we've all been waiting for' (Le Figaro).… (plus d'informations)

All very vague and elusive - unlike anything else I've read but nevertheless not a book I enjoyed or would recommend. ( )
I live by the ocean and during the night I dive into it down to the bottom underneath all currents and drop my anchor this is where I’m staying this is my home

C’est une bouche, à demi ouverte, qui respire, mais les yeux, le nez, le menton, ne sont plus là. C ’est une bouche plus grande que toutes les bouches imaginables, et qui fend l’espace en deux, l’élargissant, si bien qu’il faut faire un arc de cercle avec le corps pour tenter de tout voir. [...]
