A review by booksandacuppa
Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski

emotional inspiring sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

After being in a sort of reading slump the past few months, this well-written book was exactly what I needed. 
Jedrowski's writing is just beautiful. His words flow easily and I found myself turning the pages without even realising. 
The historical aspect is very interesting, mostly because I did not know a lot about it. And the protagonist's struggle is heartbreaking to hear about. 
This book made me think about things and inspired me in many ways.
