| Description: | Select Guide Rating Funny, heart-breaking and life-affirming, Swimming for Beginners will show you how a child can open your heart even if you aren’t a mother. Loretta has life under control. She''s good at avoiding things that make her uncomfortable: parties, excessive emotion, getting hurt. She''s chasing a big promotion and marrying a man whose five-year plan aligns perfectly with hers and certainly does not include children. But then a stranger in an airport asks Loretta to keep an eye on her sleeping six- year-old, Phoebe. She never comes back. Loretta knows that Phoebe''s life will change forever from that moment. But so will hers. This strange little person in fairy wings will make Loretta learn to play Rude Trumps, get a swimming cap onto a child''s head without involving social services, cut toast into happy shapes - and question everything she knows about herself. |
