Items related to Visits From The Drowned Girl
Benny Poteat is the only witness to a young woman's suicide. Should he go to the police? Or keep the biggest secret he has ever had all to himself? When Benny decides to find out who the woman was, what starts as a blackly humorous tale peopled by misfits and loners, gradually descends into darkness and obsession. At first a benign and likeable outsider, Benny's secret begins to overwhelm him and, once he realises he has left it too late to do the right thing, he loses control of his obsession and becomes incapable of living by the rules. Sherrill manages to fully inhabit the mind of one of life's lonely creatures. With heart-breaking honesty and touches of surrealism, Visits From the Drowned Girl uncovers the secret longings that dwell beneath the surface of everyday lives.
