Rezensionen
Good job tracking the minds of several different characters who look at the same situations from varying points of view. Intellectually engaging. For me, the saddest story was not that of the protagonists, the two swimmers, but of their coach. No spoilers but egads... Not being a sports person, I enjoyed an insider's view of a sport that didn't shut out a non-sportiv person like myself.
Ms. Levin possesses a massive, hard hitting talent. As a general rule I simply avoid short stories. If they're any good they're over just as your interest is piqued. But this is Jenifer Levin and the length just doesn't affect the unbelievable quality of her work. In this case..size truly doesn't matter . This woman can flat out do it for me in just a few pages. She's awesome. I hope she's out there and pounding away at a keyboard creating another magnificent & mind blowing feast for me to delve into and relish. Thank you, Ms. Levin.… (mehr)

Levin has crafted a beautiful story of love, loss, and redemption set against the backdrop of collegiate swimming. Her prose is amazing, and each chapter will leave you wanting more. I am sad that this book has gone out of print.... that makes it hard to recommend to people, because in some places it can be hard to find.
