Dive into the depths of a Berlin lake, journey from the Thames to the banks of the Nile, and meet Black Mary, the keeper of a lost seventeenth-century healing well in London. This is an urgent, evocative collection of writings celebrating the source of all life: freshwater, our most precious resource. Featuring twenty writers, including Olivia Laing, Elif Shafak, Rebecca Solnit and Ocean Vuong, this is a treasury of writings on hope for ecological abundance, desire, beauty - and restorative planetary justice. These are the vital myths and memories that flow through water.
