The vast, ever-changing beauty of the ocean and its creatures’ epic lives have always called to me. They have called as well to Hannah Stowe, a writer who shares with us her response to that calling in her distinctly wet and salty new coming-of-age memoir. The ink of the sea and the sky merged in a midnight abyss, and it was hard to tell whether we were sailing through water or air. As the boat moved, the wake shone with the most beautiful, luminescent turquoise. I have never seen such a colour before or since, streaks of magic lighting up the night. Wendy delivered her first performance of "Like Water" at SBS PowerFM's Cultwo Show. [11] On April 9, 2021, she made her debut stage on Music Bank. [34] She then performed the song on KBS CoolFM on the same day. [35] Throughout promotions, the singer continued to perform the song on Inkigayo, M Countdown and Show! Music Core. [36] [37] [38] Credits and personnel [ edit ] Her writing about her life is more spotty, less clear, often out of focus. She does experience a terrible injury that prevents her from following her career trajectory and yet, she writes about it at a remove. I was irritated when she popped in a boyfriend's name as an afterthought near the end of the book with no explanation. Like she was forced to mention him because of a voyage they took together that she wanted to include in the story. (He turns out to be her husband, something you'd want in a memoir, maybe?) So the memoir bits made the story less pungent rather than more so.

Beyond the Book

Stirring. . . . Fascinating. . . . Unforgettable. . . . Stowe immerses readers in the sights, sounds, and rhythms of the ocean in her spellbinding debut.

Jones takes the reader on a thoroughly researched and enlightening journey, as she explores the connection between mental health and the natural world, from education practices, to therapy techniques to neuroscience. Jones’s message is clear. We need nature to be well and we need to work for and with nature. A sensuous book, more felt than described, more described than explained, more painted than penned: part memoir, part journal and. . . . part natural mystery tour.”— Carl Safina, The New York Times Book Review a b c Hwang, Hye-jin (April 5, 2021).

Retrieved April 12, 2021.The following books explore how nature can help us understand the human experiences of addiction, illness, loss, loneliness and allow us to find solace, sanctuary, connection and subtle wisdom in the wild.

This book is a wonderful combination of personal memoir, nature journal, nonfiction, and brings to light not only the author’s own story and path, but the fundamental questions we all reflect upon while we are surrounded by nature and the ever vast seas. Stowe’s captivating journey continues to enlighten and carry us to other sea creatures, such as the Wandering Albatross, a “bird of legend” known for the “mastery of its force” flying through fierce winds, requiring both parents to switch turns to care for their young.Neither angry rant nor hopeless lament, Stowe balances her research knowledge with the well-founded hope that many seemingly insignificant human lifestyle choices can indeed add up to major positive changes in the health of all the world’s seas. Instead of pleading desperately for “ordinary” folks like us to become involved, she offers a welcoming invitation that promises not only challenges, but also joy and fulfillment. For me, that started with reading this beautifully composed book. Kang, Min-kyung (April 9, 2021).

Stowe could sense but not articulate her longing for a different path. “I wanted to feel intrepid, to experience the rush of nerves as you push your own boundaries,” she tells us. “But, right now, I was just a 17-year-old from the coast with a handful of change from pulling pints in the pub in the evenings.” Granta Books is thrilled to have acquired on proposal Hannah Stowe’s Move Like Water, a beguiling and beautiful work of non-fiction about our human relationship with the sea and the creatures who inhabit it. Born beneath the sweep of a lighthouse beacon on the Pembrokeshire coast, Stowe is a marine biologist, sailor and artist and this book draws on her research at sea as well as her experience of sailing through some of the planet’s most varied waters. The book is underpinned by a powerful environmental message, but Stowe’s argument is made through the stories she tells – about swimming with her mother as a child, about listening to whale song, about being at sea at night – all of which encourage readers to fall in love with the seas as she has, to appreciate their majesty and their vulnerability.
