Swimming at Night: A Novel

Swimming at Night: A Novel

People go traveling for two reasons: because they are searching for something, or they are running from something.

Katieâ€™s world is shattered by the news that her headstrong and bohemian younger sister, Mia, has been found dead at the bottom of a cliff in Bali. The authorities say that Mia jumpedâ€”that her death was a suicide.

Although theyâ€™d hardly spoken to each other since Mia suddenly left on an around-the-world trip six months earlier, Katie refuses to accept that her sister would have taken her own life. Distraught that they never made peace, Katie leaves her orderly, sheltered life in London behind and embarks on a journey to find out the truth. With only the entries in Miaâ€™s travel journal as her guide, Katie retraces the last few months of her sisterâ€™s life andâ€”page by page, country by countryâ€”begins to uncover the mystery surrounding her death. . . .

Weaving together the exotic settings and suspenseful twists of Alex Garlandâ€™s The Beach with a powerful tale of familial love in the spirit of Rosamund Luptonâ€™s Sister, Swimming at Night is a fast-paced, accomplished, and gripping debut novel of secrets, loss, and forgiveness.
