Description
In a quiet community pool, a group of disparate swimmers find solace and routine in the rhythmic laps they take each day, their lives intersecting only through the shared water and unspoken understanding of their lanes. But when a mysterious crack appears in the pool, disrupting their sanctuary, the swimmers must confront the unsettling changes that ripple through their lives and the world outside. This deeply personal novel, inspired by the author's own experiences, tenderly explores themes of memory, loss, and the quiet strength found in shared human experience as one woman's gradual mental decline mirrors the pool's own slow decay.
