Description
At 28, Jessica Lee finds herself in Berlin, alone and struggling to find her footing. To regain her confidence and independence, she embarks on a unique project: swimming 52 of the lakes around the city, no matter the weather or season. As she pushes herself to confront her fears and overcome physical challenges, she also uncovers the complex history and beauty of the landscape.
This is a story of obsession, of the thrill of a still, turquoise lake, and of the freedom that comes from embracing the unknown. With each stroke, Jessica finds new strength and a deeper understanding of the world around her. A powerful and moving account of one woman's journey, this book is for anyone who has ever felt the call of the water.
