- "It's 1925 and fifteen-year-old Catherine Quick longs to swim once more the warm waters of her tropical island home. But in London, where she now lives with her aunt Louisa, Catherine feels that everything she values has been stripped away. Louisa, a busy, confident London surgeon, hold definite views on the behaviour of her young niece, but since Catherine's arrival Louisa's every step seems to be wrong. Louisa is troubled by painful memoroes from her past. It takes the influence of an enigmatic American banker to convince Lousia and Catherine to come to New York to join the first women in the world to swim the English Channel. It is here, unexpectedly, that Louisa can finally listen to what her own heart tells her." --Book cover.
