Description
Rose Tremain's "The Swimming Pool Season" is a tender comedy of mid-life reinvention set against the backdrop of rural France. When a failed swimming pool entrepreneur, Larry, is left behind in his French village while his wife, Miriam, returns to England for her mother's deathbed, he embarks on a quixotic quest to build the ultimate artistic pool. This ambitious project becomes a focal point for Larry's dreams of recapturing his fortune and captivating his new neighbors, while also forging unexpected friendships. The novel explores themes of ambition, loss, and the unexpected connections that can bloom in the most unlikely circumstances, all rendered with Tremain's signature wit and deep sympathy.
