Swimming/Nicola Keegan

Swimming: a novel/Nicola Keegan 305 pg.

Pip is a born swimmer and rides her gifts to many Olympic medals. The real story is her struggle against her inner demons and family issues. Her older sister died of cancer at 18, her dad in an airplane mishap, her mother is agoraphobic, one other sister an addict and the youngest sister is kind of a marytr. Her swimming success keeps her from having to deal with her other issues but when she gets injured and retires, she has plenty to figure out. This is the first book by the author and I liked her style. Sometimes it was hard to like any of the characters. - Christa
