On New Year’s Day, in the freezing waters off the coast of Sussex, three generations of women make their resolutions.

Lily, twenty-eight and fiercely ambitious, has decided romance can wait. This year, she’s going to get promoted. Her mother Jill, braced for an empty nest and a wedding anniversary her husband is sure to forget, has resolved to tidy the loft. And then there’s Margot, Lily’s magnificent grandmother, who has decided that enough is enough: none of them will waste another minute on such pedestrian promises.

It is Margot, naturally, who proposes a pact. Before the year is out, each of them must do four things: something that scares them, something they’ve always dreamed of, something the others decide they need, and something for the one they love.

By the time next New Year’s Day dawns over Haven Bay, three lives will be transformed.

Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is jump in with both feet.

A gloriously uplifting tale of family, second chances and the promises we make to the people we love, The New Year Swim at Haven Bay is perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Faith Hogan and Veronica Henry.
