Helen Memel, an outspoken eighteen-year-old with a childlike stubbornness and a precocious sexual confidence, starts scheming on reuniting her divorced parents.
Helen Memel lies in the Department of Internal Medicine at Maria Hill Hospital. While she waits for her divorced parents to come and visit her - who she hopes will finally be reconciled by the side of her hospital bed - she begins to examine those parts of her body usually seen as distinctly 'unladylike'. She lets the orderly, Robin, take photos of those areas her curious gaze can't reach. And, on the side, she tends to her collection of avocado stones - which also happen to provide her with invaluable sexual services...
Wetlands is the disarmingly explicit, and very funny, story of a heroine both pleasure-seeking and vulnerable, who voices what others do not even dare to think.
