Drowning

There is something very wrong with David Bennett’s life. What is wrong is beyond David’s capacity to discern: he has everything a man is supposed to have: a job, a wife, two children. Two cars. What could be wrong? <br> <br> There is something wrong with David Bennett’s son. He wakes up screaming in the night, due to nightmares about which he never speaks. Nothing David or his wife, Patricia, do makes it any better. <br> <br> David, is the dream you have been sold a dead one? Is the life you’ve been groomed to live not a life at all? <br> <br> David lives in a world that is destined to end. And when this world disintegrates, he finds himself on the front lines of a battle he’d never intended to fight, one that will determine the shape of things to come. <br> <br> Drowning, the daring, edgy, high-concept debut novel of writer Alan Howard mixes mythology and contemporary literature into a fascinating, psychological and poignant story of life, death, apathy and apocalypse.
