Swimming at Night by Lucy Clarke
4.0
I was in the middle of reading a different book when I put it down and picked up this one. I've had difficulty with reading things in the last few years; my brain doesn't seem to like focusing so much anymore. I wasn't having an easy time with the one I'd been reading and I got worried it was just my streak dropping off. But that proved not to be the case, because I could barely put this one down.
I don't know if I'm just partial to stories about sisters because I love my OWN sister so much or what, but the relationship depicted in this book was so poignant and moving, it made me mist up a few times. Not only that, but I felt it fleshed the two women out really well and in a very relatable way. It moves along very nicely, very compelling, and I was always pleased with where the POV shifts began and ended; nothing felt belabored or tedious. A really satisfying read, would recommend.
