Her head in her book
The quiet and the darkness, a safe place to talk openly and share their secrets. There’s also scope for another book with the characters. The women in the book have the most well rounded and developed characters whereas Niall and Dan felt a bit 2D and superficial, as did the conclusion to Dan’s part of the story. The emotional connections, the strong bond of friendship, both long standing and short was beautiful to read as their lives entwined and they supported each other through a difficult time in each of their lives.

All in all, it’s a cozy but emotional read. She needs to lean on best friend Jo who props her up and is the unbiased sounding board she needs.

The Ladies Midnight Swimming Club is such a beautiful read. I really enjoyed this story of female solidarity and friendship.
Lucy uncovers a secret about her mother that sees her life free falling before she’s encouraged to join her mum Jo and Elizabeth swimming under the cover of darkness in the sea at Midnight - virtual hands are held, the sea washing away the tears as plans are made as members of the Ladies Midnight Swimming Club. I highly recommend this book, it’s so difficult to put into words how uplifting and empowering reading this book was. Jo’s daughter Lucy arrives from Dublin with her son Niall to visit her mother for some time out and a break from her life as a busy doctor in an A & E department whilst ex husband lives the high life with his new partner in Australia.
Elizabeth, lives in the big house, her place in society secure, respected as the doctors wife - that is until her world is rocked on its axis when her husband dies and she discovers a hidden secret that is set to leave her not only widowed but destitute and homeless. You’ll have your heart broken time and again as you’re introduced to the three ladies that the story centres around. Lucy steps in to help Elizabeth, providing a sticking plaster on her problems, giving her the space to make her own decisions, to pave a path of her choosing. Everything is about to change for these women as they swim under the stars.
Loved how the ladies of different ages supported each other through their challenges. There’s a full range of emotions invoked by the plot.
