Dive into THE WHITSTABLE HIGH TIDE SWIMMING CLUB - the
irresistible, feel-good novel from Katie May. Join Debs and Maisie
and the high tide swimmers as they make waves in life, love and
friendship. Only the truly devoted manage to swim every day at
Whitstable, because the sea's only deep enough at high tide. So
when Deb (ageing bikini, sunglasses) and Maisie (black wetsuit,
swimming shoes, goggles) keep meeting on Reeves Beach, they strike
up an unlikely friendship based on their love of swimming and their
recent divorces. They swim early in the morning and late at night;
through sea-fogs, rain and glorious sunny days. Soon, they are
joined by other high tide swimmers, each with a crisis of their own
to weather. Ann, a bossy organiser, is caring for her elderly
mother at home; Julie has somehow (although she's not quite sure
how) managed to produce three children under school age; and Chloe,
a bright, brittle girl of fifteen, finds calmness in the water.
Quiet, anxious Bill is initially thought to be a peeping Tom,
before being welcomed into the heart of the club. When the swimmers
discover plans for their beach to be paved over for a leisure
complex, they find a higher purpose that bonds them together, and
exposes their fragile worlds to public scrutiny. THE WHITSTABLE
HIGH TIDE SWIMMING CLUB is a book about the power of female
friendship, that never loses sight of the complicated truths behind
the lives of women who - from the outside - seem to take everything
in their stride. It's also a song to the author's home town of
Whitstable, where the sea is smooth, the shingle is painful on bare
feet, and the air is full of possibilities.
