The stated plot of Florence Adler Swims Forever by Rachel Beanland is that Florence dies, and her family decides to keep the death a secret to protect her sister. The actual plot of the book casts a broader net with the stories of each of the people in Florence's life. In some ways, there is a lot going on in this book. Yet, somehow, it works, and the characters and this family feel real. Even at the end, I want to turn the page and keep the story going.

Atlantic City 1934. The Adler family suffers an unimaginable tragedy . War is imminent in Europe. Secrets, past and present threaten to tear the family apart. A look at family, grief, and a look at ways love can harm as often as it heals.
