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 she'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 George'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 she's assigned to write about the lido's closing. Soon Kate'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. \"Charming [and] an unusually poignant tale of married love\" (The Washington Post), Mornings with Rosemary is a feel-good novel that captures the heart and spirit of a community across generations--an irresistible tale of love, loss, aging, and friendship. *Originally published as The Lido\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Publish date - 2019 - paperback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53714531909942,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8714\/8342\/files\/FullSizeRender_c51e3d1c-e04e-4fd1-bbee-c103f41dbd97.jpg?v=1771606482","url":"https:\/\/thenandnowbookshop.com\/products\/the-lido-uk-edition","provider":"Then \u0026 Now Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
