From the awardwinning and bestselling French author Colombe Schneck, a womans personal journey through abortion, sex, friendship, love, and swimmingAt fifty years old, while taking swimming lessons, I finally realized that my body was not actually as incompetent as Id thought. My physical gestures had been, until then, small, worried, tense. In swimming I learned to extend them. I saw male bodies swimming beside me, and I swam past them, I was delighted, my breasts got smaller, my uterus stopped working. My body, by showing me who I was, allowed me to become fully myself.In Seventeen, Friendship, and Swimming, Colombe Schneck orchestrates a comingofage in three movements. Beautiful, masterfully controlled, yet filled with pathos, they invite the reader into a decadeslong evolution of sexuality, bodily autonomy, friendship, and loss.Schnecks prose maintains an unwavering intimacy, whether conjuring a teenage abortion in the midst of a privileged Parisian upbringing, the nuance of a long friendship, or a midlife romance. Swimming in Paris is an immersive, propulsive triptychfundamentally human in its tender concern for every messy and glorious reality of the body, and deeply wise in its understanding of both desire and of letting go.

I picked up 'Swimming in Paris' hoping for a light escape, and it did not disappoint! The three intertwined stories are so beautifully written and vivid, it felt like I was actually there in Paris. Perfect for a cozy day on the couch with a cup of tea. I’ll definitely recommend it to my book club!

Not What I Expected
Honestly, I was disappointed with 'Swimming in Paris'. The stories didn't really resonate with me, and I found myself skimming through parts. Maybe it’s just not my style, but I thought it would be more engaging. I wouldn't buy it again.
