Summary
A poignant and inspiring story from multi-million-copy bestselling author Amanda Prowse about how it’s never too late to follow your dreams and find your way back to happiness.
Tawrie Gunn feels stuck. She’s spent her whole life in the same seaside town with her beloved Nana and grief-stricken mum, all of them still reeling in different ways from the tragic loss of Tawrie’s dad at sea. Desperate for a change, she challenges herself to take up wild swimming—every morning, no excuses, from March till September.
Daring to take the plunge with the ‘Peacock Swimmers’, Tawrie feels alive in a way she’s never known. Suddenly it seems she might be able to step outside her comfort zone after all and let life surprise her—perhaps even dream of a future beyond the shores of Ilfracombe? Especially when, one day, she spots a man in a pink linen shirt who seems as eager for a new start as she does.
But it turns out taking risks on land is a little different from wading into the sea. Can Tawrie face her fears head-on and find her way to happiness? She knows it’s never too late to pursue your hopes and dreams, but it might be easier said than done…

Total investment in these characters!
What a gorgeous find! I'm new to this author, but absolutely loved this book. I feel like I have deep friendships with each of these beautifully drawn characters. I was so sad when I completed this book...it's set a high bar!

Amanda you’ve only gone and done it again.
Loved this from start to finish again. I love how you capture all the best parts of North Devon. If any reader has visited Ilfracombe it will take them back to visualising the whole story. Verity, Hele bay, what it’s like to visit in the winter…Love the characters and how their lives have evolved and entwined over the years.
I didn’t want it to end.

Beautiful storytelling
I adore Amanda Prowse books and have been so excited for this! I found I had to ration myself so I didn’t race through in one day…I managed two..
Such a lovely story, full of warm characters you can fall in love with. A beautiful setting brought to life so well by the writer I just longed to be there.
As always, so wonderfully written and read by the author. What a treat!
