WE'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO MAKE NEW FRIENDSâ€”OR TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

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 Georgeâ€™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 sheâ€™s assigned to write about the lidoâ€™s closing. Soon Kateâ€™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.

In the tradition of Fredrik Backmanâ€™s A Man Called Ove, The Lido is a charming, feel-good novel that captures the heart and spirit of a community across generationsâ€”an irresistible tale of love, loss, aging, and friendship.
