More About This Book

Overview

Sixteen-year-old Sarah Kunitz lives in a posh, suburban world of 1970 Boston. From the outside, her parents’ lifestyle appears enviable—a world defined by cocktail parties, expensive cars, and live-in maids to care for their children—but inside their five-bedroom house, all is not well for the Kunitz family. Coming home from school, Sarah finds her well-dressed, pill-popping mother lying disheveled on their living room couch. At night, to escape their parents’ arguments, Sarah and her oldest brother, Peter, find solace in music, while her two younger brothers retreat to their rooms and imaginary lives.

Any vestige of decorum and stability drains away when their mother dies in a car crash one terrible winter day. Soon after, their father, a self-absorbed, bombastic professor begins an affair with a younger colleague. Sarah, aggrieved, dives into two summer romances that lead to unforeseen consequences.

In a story that will make you laugh and cry, Night Swim shows how a family, bound by heartache, learns to love again.

    A Layered and Lovely Debut

    "Night Swim is such a sweet and delightful read at times, and yet so sad and nearly brutal in its honesty at others. The book is perfectly paced. I finished in two sittings, because I just could not put it down. I can't wait to see what Jessica Keener does next."

    tender, movinmg, superb

    What a splendid, passionate novel. I LOVED THIS. I felt inside each character, their sorrow and their "solos" were mine, too. Sarah could have been my friend sitting behind me in school and the author made me want to turn around and see her, see inside her. There is such a beauty to the work as well, its language, its quietness, the way it is kind of separate "solos" played without grandiosity, by people we recognize. Just the human yearnings and vulnerabilities that make us feel so fragile, that we all recognize as our own.
    I highly recommended this sensitive, unusual book. A tender debut by an author I'll be watching closely from now on.
