Description

Deborah Levy's Swimming Home is a subversively brilliant study of love and its devastating secrets. When Joe arrives at his family's villa in the hills above Nice, he finds a body in the swimming pool - but the girl is very much alive.

This enigmatic woman, Kitty Finch, is a self-proclaimed botanist with green-painted fingernails, walking naked out of the water and into the heart of their holiday. As Joe tries to understand her presence, he must also confront his own secrets and the mysteries of those around him.

A thought-provoking exploration of human relationships and the things we keep hidden from ourselves, Swimming Home is a masterful novel that will leave you questioning the darkness within us all.
