Review: The J.M. Barrie Ladies' Swimming Society
Gaby Meares
This is an undemanding read, which I found more enjoyable than I expected.
Yes, there are a couple of errors that should not have escaped the editor’s pen: the most glaring being the matter of taking a dog from the USA to England with no quarantine - I don’t think so! A cursory Google search shows how hard it is to take any animal between countries.
The main character can be a little irritating, but the book is redeemed by the members of the J. M. Barrie Ladies’ Swimming Society with whom I wish we’d spent more time. When I grow old(er) I hope I’m this fiesty!
If you are looking for a light book, well written to while away an afternoon, you could do worse than hang out with the members of the J. M. Barrie Ladies’ Swimming Society.
