Swimming Lessons by Claire Fuller is a novel set in Dorset, England. A mystery involving the disappearance and assumed drowning of a mother with ten and fifteen year old daughters. During the last days before her disappearance, she wrote letters to her husband and placed them in the books piled all over the house. Eleven years later, believing he has spotted his missing wife, the father takes a bad fall and the daughters come home to take care of him.

Well written, and if you enjoy a good mystery, you might like this book. However, I didn’t really like any of the characters and the book left me feeling very sad. There was no real resolution, it was all a bit hopeless. My recommendation, skip it.
