This is a real “feel good” book. Well, for me anyway. Perusing some of the Amazon reviews, a small minority sound like they have read a different book!
On the surface, the book is about the potential closure of a lido in Brixton, the impact of this possibility on various people and a campaign to stop it. What the book is really about is friendship, community, body image, mental health, love, life and death.
I really enjoyed the read. When I was approaching the end, I experienced a common ambivalence: I did not want to put the book down, but I also didn’t want it to end. I was pleased to see that there’s another book by the author and further one to be published soon.
