Media Reviews
Praise for Swimmer: 'A dark, shimmery story, full of damage and wonder' Elle 'Echoing the aspirations of its heroine, Broady's stunning narrative seems to hover in its own distinctive element and, at times, to soar and fly. In prose of poetic precision and poignancy, he touches on the deepest dreams of the human heart.' Observer
