The Sea of Light
The Sea of Light | Jenifer Levin
10 posts | 5 read | 13 to read
Angelita is the hurricane that brings down a plane carrying a team of star-quality swimmers, groomed from childhood to compete at the international level. Babe Delgado is a young Cuban-American woman, presumed dead, who is rescued from the crash. Fifty-one hours in the Atlantic have left her scarred in body and spirit, afraid to compete again. Brenna Allen is a tough, driven swim coach at a small university, grieving for a lover lost to cancer. She finds solace in building her own winning team, driving her overworked captain, Ellie Marks, ever harder. Ellie is a child of holocaust survivors, struggling to own herself and her sexuality as hard as she's working to win. Brenna recruits Babe, promising to help her rebuild her damaged body, strength, and will.

#FunFridayPhoto, my #mostrecommended book ever is, hands down, The Sea of Light. It was recommended to me when I was first coming out, but it is SO much more than a queer book. It deals with love, loss, trauma and how its aftermath ripples through families and communities, changing family relationships, redemption through love and through sport. The swimming is almost secondary, but very evocative. I can't praise this book enough.

@bookishkris reminded me a while back about this beloved gem that I have on my shelves. Babe, a Cuban American, is the sole survivor when a plane full of competitive swimmers crashes in the ocean. #queerbooks #augustofpages #booksandsports @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

TheSpinecrackersBookClub Oooh. This sounds like something I'll like. 8y

#Recommendsday. A beautiful book about love, loss, and redemption, set against the backdrop of collegiate swimming. I can't say enough about the lyricism of Levin's writing. This is the book I give to people who want to know more about the things I love. I want to write like this when I grow up.

Lindy I love this book too. Haven't thought about it for a long time. Thanks for the reminder! 8y
