"All The Water in the World is a book about life and death, joy and grief fused together, both affirming and heartbreaking. In Eve and teenage Maddy, Karen Raney has created a mother-daughter relationship as fraught and passionate as any in recent memory. 'Do everything all at once' is Maddy's philosophy as well as the motto of this kinetic and beautiful book." —Darcey Steinke, Author of Flash Count Diary and Easter Everywhere  “With a lyric and suspenseful intensity reminiscent of Sue Miller, Karen Raney has written an astonishingly moving novel about the boundaries and boundlessness of life and love.” —Joanna Hershon, author of A Dual Inheritance and The Outside of August “An extraordinary achievement for a first novel: tender, heartfelt and heart-breaking." —Francis Spufford, author of Golden Hill "Karen Raney is a writer of rare gifts—nuanced characters, shimmering prose, and a riveting story. All the Water in the World is heart-rending in its power and gorgeous in its telling, a deeply rewarding and wholly unforgettable debut novel." —Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Remember Me Like This and Corpus Christi
