Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to stories about grief and recovery that don't shy away from pain but find lightness on the other side.
  • You love character-driven fiction with British seaside settings and small-town warmth.
  • You appreciate books about ordinary people doing brave things, whether that's jumping into cold water or opening your heart again.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer plot-driven stories with high stakes and fast pacing over introspective emotional journeys.
  • You're looking for steamy romance. This is about connection and tenderness, not passion.
  • You want cynical narrators. Tawrie's earnestness and hope might feel too sincere for your taste.

About this book

Tawrie Gunn feels stuck in her seaside hometown of Ilfracombe, where she lives with her Nana and grief-stricken mother. The family is still processing the tragic loss of Tawrie's father at sea. Seeking change, she commits to wild swimming with a local group called the Peacock Swimmers, swimming every morning from March through September. Through wild swimming, Tawrie discovers a sense of aliveness she's never experienced before. She begins to step outside her comfort zone and consider possibilities beyond her hometown. When she meets a man in a pink linen shirt who also appears to be seeking a fresh start, her world expands further. However, taking risks on land proves more complicated than swimming in the sea. Tawrie must confront her fears to pursue happiness and her dreams for the future.
