About the Book

Book Synopsis

Three women. Three different stages of life. United by one thing: the chance to start again.

"Uplifting, emotional and brimming with warmth and humour" -- Cathy Bramley

When Elizabeth's husband dies, leaving her with crippling debt, the only person she can turn to is her friend, Jo. Soon Jo has called in her daughter, Lucy, to help save Elizabeth from bankruptcy. Leaving her old life behind, Lucy is determined to make the most of her fresh start.

As life slowly begins to return to normal, these three women, thrown together by circumstance, become fast friends. But then Jo's world is turned upside down when she receives some shocking news.

In search of solace, Jo and Elizabeth find themselves enjoying midnight dips in the freezing Irish Sea. Here they can laugh, cry and wash away all their fears. As well as conjure a fundraising plan for the local hospice that will bring the whole community together.

From bestselling Irish writer Faith Hogan, The Ladies' Midnight Swimming Club is an emotional, intergenerational story about finding new friends and living life to the fullest, perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Heidi Swain and Liz Fenwick.
