'Blisteringly good . . .An enthralling debut from a hugely talented
writer' DANIELLE MCLAUGHLIN'Brilliant, vivid - I enjoyed this book
ENORMOUSLY' MARIAN KEYESA young woman comes of age in the shadow of
her family's tragic pastWhen Beth Crowe starts university, she is
shadowed by the ghost of her potential as a competitive swimmer.
Free to create a fresh identity for herself, she finds herself
among people who adore the poetry of her grandfather, Benjamin
Crowe, who died tragically before she was born. She embarks on a
secret relationship - and on a quest to discover the truth about
Benjamin and his widow, her beloved grandmother Lydia.The quest
brings her into an archive that no scholar has ever seen, and to a

Holding Her Breath is a razor-sharp, moving and seriously
entertaining novel about complicated love stories, ambition and
grief - and a young woman coming fully into her powers.
