Treading Water is an intricate tale that focuses on relationship between Saul, his wife, and his ex-mistress trying to rekindle their old relationship.
It's a tale as old as time. Most likely, everyone has seen,
read, or encountered something like this before. However, what makes the book
good is the consistency and realism of the characters. They maintain their
respective traits like manipulative, doubtful, erratic, etc throughout the book
and nothing is over the top, the scenario is very plausible and while
personally the ending doesn't feel as satisfactory as what I would hope, it's a
very realistic one.
There are hidden questions brought out but not addressed in
detail, which is not necessary but it's good to ask in sync with reality,
something probably controversial but shouldn't imho: should a man have a say in
a situation when a fling ends up in pregnancy?
