About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Swimming with Seals written and read by Victoria Whitworth.

A book about intense physical and personal experience, narrating how Victoria Whitworth began swimming in the cold waters of Orkney as a means of escaping a failing marriage.

This is a memoir of intense physical and personal experience, exploring how swimming with seals, gulls and orcas in the cold waters off Orkney provided Victoria Whitworth with an escape from a series of life crises and helped her to deal with intolerable loss.

It is also a treasure chest of history and myth, local folklore and archaeological clues, giving us tantalising glimpses of Pictish and Viking men and women, those people lost to history, whose long-hidden secrets are sometimes yielded up by the land and sea.

I loved everything about this exquisite memoir. What a creative weaver of stories!! The author brought her story to life with just the right amount of emotion, I felt like I was right there with her experiencing it too. Bravo!
