Shallow End

By LPH98.lifestyle

The pool closes in twelve weeks. Corrie has swum the same lane for fifty years.

The council votes to close the municipal pool for boring, real, unfightable reasons. The 7 a.m. regulars mount a doomed, scrupulously polite campaign to save it. Corrie - seventy-four, one stroke, one depth, fifty years of the same lane - becomes their figurehead without meaning to. The petitions cannot name what she is really defending. Neither can she. The water keeps the record.

A comic-tender ensemble novel about a third place, a quiet grief, and the depth no civic document can measure.

For readers of community fiction, aging with dignity, and novels where ordinary places hold entire lives.
