|title=The Summer of Drowning
|rating=4
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=The story is narrated in the first person by the daughter a decade or so after the tragedy. So, she has a healthy dose of hindsight which shows itself time and time again with sentiments such as ... if only I'd have known back then ... and ...I thought it was a bit strange at the time ... if you get my drift. Burnside takes his time to set the scene (spartan) and his characters (a mere handful). His chosen location is the arresting emptiness of somewhere deep in the Arctic Circle so straight away he's caught my imagination - with his.
