    About this ebook

    From bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, writing as Madeleine Wickham, comes Swimming Pool Sunday

    "A fine entertainment."- The Times

    One shimmeringly hot Sunday in May, the Delaneys open their pool to the whole village for charity. Louise is there with her daughters, and while the children splash and shriek in the cool blue waters, she basks in the sunshine, attempting to ignore her estranged husband and dreaming of the new man in her life, a charismatic lawyer. The day seems perfect.

    Then a sudden and shocking accident changes everyone's lives forever. Recriminations start to fly. Whose fault was it? Louise's new lover insists that she sues the Delaneys. Her ex-husband isn't so sure. Opinion in the village is split. Old friendships start to crumble. New ones are formed. Will the repercussions from the accident ever end?

      I just couldn’t get into this book. First time it’s happened with Sophie Kinsella—I’m a huge fan of hers. Oh well.

      Sophie Kinsella / Madeleine Wickham's books are always a good read!
    • 4/5
      ** spoiler alert ** This book is based around a family - the Kempers. The parents Barnaby and Louise have recently seperated and Louise has started seeing another man - a lawyer- Cassian. The Kempers have 2 children Amelia and Katie who live with their mother. On a hot Sunday afternoon, the Delaneys host a pool party for the village to raise money for charity. One of the children are injured in the pool and this starts a long complicated story with the Kempers deciding to sue the Delaneys who are actually thier friends. I enjoyed this book a lot. The story line was easy to follow without being too predictable. It portrays how friends and families are changed when something like this happen. I felt for Louise, who gets caught up with her relationship with Cassian and the legal battle and then feels unable to tell anyone how she really feels about what is happening. Poor Amelia, she gets left out as the family focus mainly on Katie as she is unwell in hospital. This is a slight insight to how a sibling of an unwell child feels and how they can be left out against the parents best intentions. Daisy, a young girl plays a small part in this book and she is a likable character, young and naive. Alexis' role in all of it is also intersting ad grew to like him by the end of the book. Another great Kinsella book. A good read, insightful and interesting.

      This novel was a little bit different than Madeline Wickham's usual writing. It was very serious, but a nice change from what I usually read from her. I read this one after I read most of her other books and was pleasantly surprised by the difference. It was nice seeing that her older writings are just as captivating as her new ones.
