W ith her first novel in 15 years, Deborah Levy has taken worn structures and made something strange and new. The familiar elements in Swimming Home are a middle-class holiday, two families. From the first brief chapters of Deborah Levy’s spare, disturbing and frequently funny novel, which was a finalist for this year’s Man Booker Prize, we sense that things will turn out badly. ‘Swimming Home is as sharp as a wasp sting Witty and poignant, its pages melt away like an unsettling yet familiar dream.’ The Guardian ‘Deborah Levy has made something strange and new spiky and unsettling. In this novel, home is elusive, safety is unlikely, and the reader closes the book both satisfied and unnerved.’ The Telegraph.
