To Be Sung Underwater paints warm vistas of two lazy Nebraskan summers for Judith, one endlessly vibrant with newly-discovered love and one that offers recovered love. That’s when the book really sings; it explores the secrets we keep from our loved ones, the ones kept in boxes tucked away, snippets of first loves and forgotten dreams. This book’s siren song, the temptation to return to your one true chance at happiness, is the one sung underwater. From a great distance, it calls Judith back to the plains of Nebraska and the memories of a boy she once loved.

Thank you, Anna, for writing such a lyrical review. I used to sit at the bottom of the pool just like this, but I hadn't thought of those colors and sounds in relation to the book's title. Perfect!

Laura, thank you for your kind remark. I truly enjoyed Tom's book and it was easy to write lyrically about a book that was so lyrical.
