Jessica J. Lee - Canadian Chinese and British - swims through all four seasons. This is the story of a beautiful obsession: of the thrill of a still turquoise lake of cracking the ice before submerging of floating under blue skies of cool fresh spring swimming - of facing past fears of near drowning and of breaking free. 'Lee is intelligent and controlled her writing clean and accurate . . . Turning is many things: a snapshot of Berlin seen through the prism of its lakes the story of a broken and healing heart a contemplation of identity a coming-of-age story' Katharine Norbury Observer 'Bold and brave she approaches her watery pilgrimage with a minimum amount of fuss . . . Lee writes like a siren her silken prose blending with softly worn scholarship to enchanting effect' Literary Review 'Turning is filled with a wonderful melancholy as she swims through lakes laden with dark histories . . . Her clear calm writing encompasses the truth and terror of open-water swimming: the conjunction of human and natural history that it represents as we swimmers hang there in the water caught between elements between our land-bound lives stationed in front of liminal screens and the infinite deep that lies beyond' Philip Hoare
