When Evie’s father becomes critically ill, she is compelled to return to her family home in Orkney and the untamed landscape she abandoned as a teenager, vowing never to come back. Her arrival is met with mixed feelings, especially from her alienated sister Liv, their bond fractured by a past ordeal.
As Evie undertakes the task of clearing out her father’s dilapidated house for sale, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to a group of cold-water swimmers, led by her old friend Freya, who find tranquility beneath the waves. Together, they assist Evie in confronting the errors of her past, unveiling a wealth of truths that will send ripples through the community and shake her family to its very foundation.
I’m listening to the Island Swimmer which takes some fascinating licences with the workings of the Balfour (Orkney) hospital.
