December 19th, 2023

Kathleen, better known as Kit McNair, a troublesome changeling was nursed to health by their mother’s Celtic magic, after having fallen through the river ice and drowned. A daredevil in boy’s clothes, Kit finds themselves caught in a tight love triangle with Rebekah, an elegant German-Canadian doctor’s daughter, and Kit’s brother, Landon. As they embark on separate paths to fight in World War II, Loghan Paylor’s debut novel, The Cure for Drowning (Penguin $24.95) unfolds a captivating narrative, exploring themes of identity, love and the profound impact of wartime experiences. Told through Kit and Rebekha’s voices, the story weaves a vivid and unforgettable tale of resilience and self-discovery. 9781039006454
