Book description
When Joey Rubin stumbles upon a group of elderly women swimming in a
lake one freezing January morning, she thinks they must be mad. But then
they dare her to come in…
Joey, an overworked New York architect, is in the Cotswolds to oversee
the restoration of Stanway House - the stately home that inspired J. M.
Barrie to write Peter Pan. It hasn't been easy. The local residents
aren't exactly welcoming, and then there's the problem of the brooding
caretaker, a man who seems to take every opportunity to undermine her
plans. She soon begins to feel that she can't do anything right.
Until, that is, she discovers the J. M. Barrie Ladies' Swimming Society
and begins to take a daily dip with them in their own private Neverland.
For Joey, meeting Aggie, Gala, Lilia and co. is a life-changing
experience, the beginning of a friendship that will transform her in the
most remarkable of ways...
