The Swim: An unforgettable, funny and inspiring book club novel from Janet Hoggarth

An unforgettable, funny and inspiring story of one ordinary woman’s choice to be extraordinary ✨ Perfect for fans of Libby Page, Clare Pooley, Amanda Prowse and Marian Keyes! 'Heart-swelling, heart-breaking and all-round unforgettable.' Number One Bestseller Shari Low ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything is about to change for Cordelia Franks – she just doesn't know it yet.

When Cordelia decides to train to swim the English Channel, she understands why no one believes she can do it. After a lifetime of never finishing anything, she doesn’t really believe she can either. But she’s determined to try.

As she strides into the Channel with hours stretching ahead of her, Cordelia swims against every milestone in her life so far. Every failed relationship, every friendship let go, every exam failed, every tricky job she quit. A life lived never giving it her all. Until now.

With every stroke, with every mile, Cordelia knows that this is finally her moment. Because if she keeps this promise to herself, if she doesn’t give up, nothing will ever be the same again.

And waiting in France is an unimagined future and someone who does believe in her…

The Swim is an unforgettable, inspiring story about taking a leap, trusting yourself, and choosing to live boldly!
