Floating

Joe Minihane

a life regained

"Journalist Joe Minihane became obsessed with wild swimming and its restorative qualities, and developed his new-found passion by following the example of naturalist Roger Deakin in his classic Waterlog. While putting one arm over the other, sometimes resting on his back, Minihane begins to confront the often buried issues in his life. Along the way, he rekindles old friendships and forges new ones, and after an unexpected setback discovers that he has already gained enough strength to be able to continue on dry land. The activity that he describes is both strange and beautiful, as the wild water puts him in touch with nature and himself." -- Jacket
