Jammed into the crowded London underground on her way to work, Marie Conway thinks she glimpses Jenny, a friend who mysteriously disappeared fifteen years before. She calls out, but before she can reach her, the train pulls away, leaving the woman's questioning face staring after her.
Marie's unsettling encounter leads her to revisit her intense friendship with Jenny - a time of first love, sexual awakening, family dramas and a shared ambition for a bright bold future beyond their coastal town. It also triggers a renewal of the haunting dreams that have affected Marie since Jenny vanished.
Intriguing and wonderfully written - with a mystery at its core - 'Night Swimming' is a brilliant debut novel about friendship and memory.
