'This is a fine book. Daphne Glazer is such a good writer, with a wonderful sense of character and place'

Charles Sprawson, author of Haunts of the Black Masseur: the Swimmer as Hero
'thrilling, I was absorbed by the emotion, and the sheer exhilaration of the swimming scenes, among the best I've read.'

Shena Mackay
'an engrossing novel, illuminated by lyrical descriptions of light and water, seascapes and the power of the mighty Humber'
