The Swimming Pool Season
Pocketbok. Sceptre . 1988.
Mycket gott skick.
After the collapse of Larry Kendal's swimming pool business, he and his wife Miriam have exiled themselves to a sleepy French village. Then Miriam is summoned to her mother's deathbed in Oxford. Larry, left alone, formulates a dazzling ambition: the creation of the most beautiful swimming pool of all.
'Rose Tremain has the rare gift of an inclusive sympathy towards her characters and the ever-rarer talent among English writers of being able to write with absolute conviction about love ... we watch enthralled'
THE OBSERVER
'A love story in the very best sense of the phrase... a very good novel as well as an enjoyable one'
