Swimming to Lunday by Amanda Prowse <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Paperback published by Lake Union 6th August 2024 <\/strong><\/h4>\n

ISBN 9781542023023<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Tawrie Gunn feels stuck. She\u2019s spent her whole life in the same seaside town with her beloved Nana and grief-stricken mum, all of them still reeling in different ways from the tragic loss of Tawrie\u2019s dad at sea. Desperate for a change, she challenges herself to take up wild swimming\u2014every morning, no excuses, from March till September. Daring to take the plunge with the \u2018Peacock Swimmers\u2019, Tawrie feels alive in a way she\u2019s never known. Suddenly it seems she might be able to step outside her comfort zone after all and let life surprise her\u2014perhaps even dream of a future beyond the shores of Ilfracombe? Especially when, one day, she spots a man in a pink linen shirt who seems as eager for a new start as she does. But it turns out taking risks on land is a little different from wading into the sea. Can Tawrie face her fears head-on and find her way to happiness? She knows it\u2019s never too late to pursue your hopes and dreams, but it might be easier said than done<\/h4>\n

MY REVIEW <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The words I read to the opening of this story, Swimming to Lunday, made me want to read on to see what happened nex<\/strong>t. Tawrie Gunn wanted her situation to change and understood that it was she who needed to change it. With an itch to her spirit and a restlessness to her bones, it was time she faced up to the inaction that had led to this feeling of stagnation. It was born, no doubt, of living in the same town, in the same house and doing the same job since school. <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n
