Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 172 pages. Jacob is an open-water, distance swimmer, a free spirit who has spent years t ravelling the world, working odd jobs between ocean swims. But when he receives a letter from his sick and estranged mother, he must return to his native New Ze aland. He spends the summer in the small bay of his adolescence, renovating the summer shack his father had built, as he tries to make sense of the tragedies th at took place there years before. It is only when Jacob discovers an island, far out to sea, that he imagines a chance for redemption and reconciliation with hi s past.Swim is a rich and visceral novella which wrestles with what it means to become an adult, and how a tragic past can overshadow the present. It offers an enduring ode to the sea by a striking new Antipodean voice.Winner of the 2018 Viva La Novella Prize. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6891o
