New York City
On the eve of their mother’s funeral, three sisters have returned to their childhood home on the coast of Northern England. The three relive their collective past as they come to terms with their loss and with each other. But as old resentments and family skeletons explode from the closet, and as individual memories flood back with hilariously differing perspectives, the sisters discover the truth about their family and their places in it in The Memory of Water.
