Three women. Three different stages of life. United by one thing: the chance to start again.
'Uplifting, emotional and brimming with warmth and humour' – Cathy Bramley
When Elizabeth's husband dies, leaving her with crippling debt, the only person she can turn to is her friend, Jo. Soon Jo has called in her daughter, Lucy, to help save Elizabeth from bankruptcy. Leaving her old life behind, Lucy is determined to make the most of her fresh start.
As life slowly begins to return to normal, these three women, thrown together by circumstance, become fast friends. But then Jo's world is turned upside down when she receives some shocking news.
In search of solace, Jo and Elizabeth find themselves enjoying midnight dips in the freezing Irish Sea. Here they can laugh, cry and wash away all their fears. As well as conjure a fundraising plan for the local hospice that will bring the whole community together...
From bestselling Irish writer Faith Hogan, The Ladies' Midnight Swimming Club is an emotional story about finding new friends and living life to the fullest, that will appeal to fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Heidi Swain and Liz Fenwick.
I absolutely loved this book. The story from the start gripped me and it was one I just couldn't put down. The characters were good and easily to relate to and I felt that you were part of the community, that you could imagine being there and being part of it. Like you knew everyone in it and could relate to what they were going through - even though it was just a story. The setting was easy to imagine too, again you could easily relate it to somewhere you knew. I'd not read anything by Faith Hogan before but the title was enough to draw me in and I'm so glad I read it. Definitely one I could read again.
Five Stars from me.
Read last year, i'm just a bit late in updating the blog as I haven't read much (that's a whole other story!)
