Set in rural Jamaica, Swimming With Fishes dives into the love affair between sickle cell patient Kat and London-born businessman Ben, and how their fiery romance grows beyond either of their expectations.
In this season of her life, Kat wants a baby more than life itself. So when the town herbalist foretells of a man from across the ocean who will father her child, Kat's hopes intensify into a dream that simply must come true.
Years later, her encounter with Ben edges that lofty prediction towards reality. Their friendship develops into an all-consuming love to which they both surrender. Unknown to Ben, however, Kat’s health is a consistent impediment to her joy and new relationships; much like the secret that Ben keeps to himself… he’s married to another woman.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
