'As the plane began its descent, the sun broke through and the
islands of Orkney stretched out below, glinting like fat mermaids
covered in emeralds. The sea had turned turquoise and lapped onto
bone-white beaches merging into impossibly vivid green fields. Evie
had forgotten just how beautiful it was here. There was nowhere
like it in the world. That's why it was so hard to stay away for so
long. Evie knew old wounds would be opened, but she couldn't run
away from her past anymore.' In Orkney, Evie arrives on the spring
tide to the wild landscape she left as a teenager, the one to which
she swore she'd never return. She is estranged from her sister Liv,
who remained on the island, their lives scattered after a childhood
trauma. As she clears out her father's home to prepare it for sale,
isolated Evie finds herself drawn to a group of cold-water swimmers
who find calmness beneath the icy waves, despite the stormy
weather. Together they help Evie face the mistakes of her past,
unlocking a treasure trove of truths that will reverberate
throughout the tight-knit community and shake her family to its
core. Inspired by her deep love for the Orkney Islands and its
people, with echoes of Maeve Binchy, The Island Swimmer is the
captivating debut novel from presenter, journalist and author
Lorraine Kelly.
