A review by launab
The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka

5.0

I think I connected to the book on a few different levels…

First of all, I enjoy the writing style.

Second, as a swimmer who has spent SO much time in a pool, I found the first part of the novel very relatable.

Finally and sadly, I have experience with memory care facilities and dementia, and in that respect the final parts of the book were also deeply relatable.
