Swimming at Night
People go traveling for two reasons: because they are searching for something, or they are running from something.
Katie’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 jumped—that her death was a suicide.

Although
they’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
Mia’s travel journal as her guide, Katie retraces the last few months
of her sister’s life and—page by page, country by country—begins to
uncover the mystery surrounding her death. .
Weaving
together the exotic settings and suspenseful twists of Alex Garland’s
The Beach with a powerful tale of familial love in the spirit of
Rosamund Lupton’s Sister, Swimming at Night is a fast-paced,
accomplished, and gripping debut novel of secrets, loss, and
forgiveness.
