Summary

Sometimes the best things in life happen when you dare to get out of your depth.

Abby lives and works in the heart of the Lake District. She splits her time between bringing up her daughter, working in the Plum Pie Bakery – and dreaming of the time before her husband, Ben, left.

Lori is on holiday from the States, hoping to find her way to the lake that she’s looked at for years in a picture on her wall back home.

Rebecca is contemplating taking the plunge too. Despite her immaculate appearance Rebecca is keeping quiet about a childhood trauma which has left her scared of the water.

Clarissa is the founder of The Wildwater Women. An all-year-round open-water swimming veteran, and with a fearsome manner, she knows the lakes like no one else and her boundless energy defies her years.

Four women, all from very different lives, all with reason to step into the water and wash away their past. But will the friendship they build be enough to keep them afloat when they each must face their fears?

Heartwarming

Such a beautiful book, the characters are so relatable and I felt that I knew them like friends - rooted for each of them. Feel bereft now that it’s finished. Need more! The narrator was a dream to listen to.

Inspiration

This is my second time listening to this book and I love it even more this time around! I was just starting my cold water swim adventures when I discovered it and it encouraged me to give it a go. 18 months on and like the ladies in the book I am still cold water swimming and discovering more about myself. Fantastic story give it a go.

An absolute joy

Absolutely loved this from start to finish. The characters, the setting, it was an absolute delight. It brought to life the importance of nature, the joys of swimming and just how important new people who enter our life can be.
