Open Water                                  |                                  Caleb Azumah Nelson

A book on the raw and intimate exploration of vulnerability, connection, and the complexities of opening oneself to another person…

Why ‘Open Water’

We chose Open Water because it’s a story that gently challenges how we think about emotions, empathy, and connection.

It’s themes of love, vulnerability, identity, and race invite personal reflection and shared perspectives. The poetic prose and second-person narration create an intimate reading experience, making it engaging to analyse together.
