Victoria Whitworth
A book about intense physical and personal experience, narrating how Victoria Whitworth began swimming in the cold waters of Orkney as a means of escaping a failing marriage.
This is a memoir of intense physical and personal experience, exploring how swimming with seals, gulls and orcas in the cold waters off Orkney provided Victoria Whitworth with an escape from a series of life crises and helped her to deal with intolerable loss.
It is also a treasure chest of history and myth, local folklore and archaeological clues, giving us tantalising glimpses of Pictish and Viking men and women, those people lost to history, whose long-hidden secrets are sometimes yielded up by the land and sea.©2017 Victoria Whitworth (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー
There's no shortage of books about wild swimming... Perhaps the most intriguing of the lot is Swimming with Seals'
onderfully evocative... Fascinating... The writing is consistently alert and engaging'
Attentive, astute and beautiful... I adored it' (Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun)
I finished this book wanting to find a cold lido, or jump into a lake, or walk into the cold sea and stay there for as long as I could stand it, and then do it again
Each little "dreamlike postcard" in this captivating book takes you deeper into the world novelist Victoria Whitworth experienced as a sea-swimmer in the wild waters of Orkney'
The author's descriptions of the coastline in Orkney and the savannah in Kenya, where she spent some of her childhood, are sharp and original... enjoy wallowing in the richness of her theological, philosophical and literary knowledge'
An eloquent celebration of swimming in the cold waters of Orkney and a fascinating memoir
A tale of redemption through nature and water's powerful ability to heal
Intelligent, wide-reaching memoir... somehow refreshing, and calming, even in its introspection'
Absorbing and thrilling (Ella Foote, Outdoor Swimming)
The first thing that hooked me into this story was the sea... An unusual [memoir]'
She writes beautifully of selkies and mermaids
This isn't really a book about swimming at all, but a book about how we are controlled by the voices of the dead; about how the whole of life is necessarily a seance. That's a humbling perspective
An extraordinary book
An intensely painful and personal memoir... This tapestry of myth, folklore and history, woven alongside her own story, imbues it with extra meaning and emotion. You'll be raring to jump into the freezing cold sea after reading this'
