BOOKS FROM SOUTH AFRICASwimming Home
by Deborah Levy
Description:
Swimming Home is a subversive page-turner, a merciless gaze at the insidious harm that depression can have on apparently stable, well-turned-out people. Set in a summer villa, the story is tautly structured, taking place over a single week in which a group of beautiful, flawed tourists on the French Riviera come loose at the seams.
