The international bestselling debut about friendship and loveā€”featuring the life-changing relationship between an anxious young reporter and an eighty-six-year-old lifelong swimmer that ā€œfollows in the footsteps of the enormously popular A Man Called Oveā€¦charming and heartwarmingā€ (Kirkus Reviews).

Weā€™re never too old to make new friendsā€”or make a difference.

Rosemary Peterson has lived in Brixton, London, all her life, but everything is changing.

The library where she used to work has closed. The family grocery store has become a trendy bar. And now the lido, an outdoor pool where sheā€™s swum daily since its opening, is threatened with closure by a local housing developer. It was at the lido that Rosemary escaped the devastation of World War II; here she fell in love with her husband, George; here she found community during her marriage and since Georgeā€™s death.

Twentysomething Kate Matthews has moved to Brixton and feels desperately alone. A once-promising writer, she now covers forgettable stories for her local paper. That is, until sheā€™s assigned to write about the lidoā€™s closing. Soon Kateā€™s portrait of the pool focuses on a singular woman: Rosemary. And as Rosemary slowly opens up to Kate, both women are nourished and transformed in ways they never thought possible.

ā€œCharming [and] an unusually poignant tale of married loveā€ (The Washington Post), Mornings with Rosemary is a feel-good novel that captures the heart and spirit of a community across generationsā€”an irresistible tale of love, loss, aging, and friendship.
