Sweet and delightful come to mind when I think of this book. It is the story of Kate who is 26, and living a lonely life as a journalist at a local Brixton newspaper. She is offered the story of writing about the local outdoor swimming pool The Lido, which the council is considering selling to a big corporation. She meets 86 year old Rosemary, who swims outside each day and shares her stories and her friendship with Kate.
Although a simple story in its premise, I liked the story about friendship and connection and about enjoying your life no matter what your age is. I lived near Brixton many years ago, and can picture the parks and houses and this book reminded of lovely London summers. 4/5
