Every now and then you pick up a novel and you know you’ve found something wonderful - a glorious voice, a character you adore. Helena Fox’s novel delivers. It is exquisite. Read it.‘ Cath Crowley Biz knows how to float. She has her people, posse, her mum and the twins. She has Grace. And she has her dad, who tells her about the little kid she was, and who shouldn’t be here but is. So Biz doesn’t tell anyone anything. Not about her dark, runaway thoughts, not about kissing Grace or noticing Jasper, the new boy. And she doesn’t tell anyone about her dad. Because her dad died when she was seven. And Biz knows how to float, right there on the surface - normal okay regular fine. PRAISE FOR HOW IT FEELS TO FLOAT 'A profoundly moving story about grief, loss, and love that will take your breath away. Helena Fox is a writer to be reckoned with.’ Kathleen Glasgow ‘This book will explode you into atoms, put you back together, and return the new shape of you to earth. Alive with sensation and rich in thought and feeling, How It Feels to Float intensively explores what it’s like to be here now.’ Margo Lanagan ‘Mesmerizing and timely.’ Bustle ‘Impossibly beautiful.’ Kerry Kletter
