The swimmers are unknown to each other except through their private routines (slow lane, fast lane), and the solace each takes in their morning or afternoon laps. But when a crack appears at the bottom of the pool, they are cast out into an unforgiving world. One of these swimmers is Alice, who is slowly losing her memory. For Alice, the pool was a final stand against the darkness of her encroaching dementia. Without the fellowship of other swimmers and the routine of her daily laps she is plunged into dislocation and chaos, swept into memories of her childhood and the Japanese American incarceration camp in which she spent the war. Alice's estranged daughter, reentering her mother's life too late, witnesses her devastating decline"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Swimmers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dementia $x Patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20231121011043.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231012030703.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230404014735.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20230202115312.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220507011213.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220507010709.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010216.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220405014044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9A130D2AA6E11EC998F19923AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
