It's 1992, Julie's family life is routine and restrained, and no one talks about her older brother, a one-time Olympic hopeful swimmer who lives in self-imposed exile in Berlin. Julie has never considered swimming herself, until Alexis, the team captain, tries to recruit her. It's a dare, a flirtation, and a chance for Julie to find her brother or finally let him go. Sara Jaffe's engrossing debut, Dryland (Tin House), is a coming-of-age novel that charts the murky waters of adolescence.
