The Wednesday Morning Wild Swim by Jules Wake
5.0
“The Wednesday Morning Wild Swim” by Jules Wake is the perfect comfort read for a gloomy day or just to get out of a reading slump. The book follows the story of Ettie, a 30ish lassie who just hasn’t found the right job for her yet. After her most recent workplace literally blew up (gas leek in a London vintage clothing shop), Ettie packs her bags and goes back home to live with her family (grandad, mother, and sister) in their Yorkshire home. Lucky for her, Dominic, an ex-Navy new house-owner decides to open a bed & breakfast business, and needs an assistant to help out! A the same time, a secret swimming club (secret only for Dominic) gets together to swim in the lake next to Dominic house, despite his forbidding them to do so...
There were so many beautiful moments in this book and all so beautifully narrated that I couldn’t say that one of them is better than the other. I think it helped a lot to have such a variety of characters and having such visual descriptions of how they mix one with another. Although I’m not a native English speaker, I could tell when the narrator, Laura Brydon, was focusing on introducing the Yorkshire dialect and dialect into the reading. It fit so well with the story!
Special thanks to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK Audio, One More Chapter , and the editorial team for giving me the opportunity to review the ARC in audiobook format and to you, my reader, for taking the time to read this honest personal book review.
