A Novel.

Twenty years ago, Vivien Silver abandoned her dreams of travel to marry the mysterious Jeb Wheeler, seduced both by his unnerving charm and his acres of untamed New Hampshire land. Now, their hand-built home and its swimming pond are the centre of the universe for the Wheelers and their three children Aaron, Jack and Lila. But beneath the surface of this idyllic lifestyle, tension simmers between the two brothers.

Into this heated atmosphere glides Aaron's girlfriend Suzanne. Her exciting - and ultimately threatening - presence ignites the long-brewing antagonism between Aaron and Jack, unleashing a rage which has terrible and irrevocable consequences.

A decade later, Lila is still struggling to come to terms with the tragedy of what happened down at the swimming pond. She drifts through life, searching for Aaron - who disappeared that night - and Suzanne, whose mystique still exerts a hold on her memory. Trapped by the past, Lila must piece together the events of that fateful weekend before she can finally let them go.

A stunning literary debut that captures the lingering effects of longing and loss, 'Swimming' unfolds with uncommon power and depth.
