SWIMMING WITH SEALS (PB)

Now in paperback, the remarkable and inspiring book which follows Victoria Whitworth experiences after she began swimming in the cold waters of Orkney as a means of escaping a failing marriage, a stifling religious environment and a series of health problems. She describes her encounters with the sea and all its weathers, the friendships she made, the wild creatures she encountered all of which combined to transform her life. The book is a love letter, to the beach where she swims regularly and its microcosmic world, to the ever-changing cold waters where the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, and to the seals, her constant companions.
