Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski

5.0

emotional sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Upon second read (2024): A masterpiece. Perfectly paced, tragic, frank and nuanced about the sacrifices it takes to resist and how love and politics have always been intertwined. I feel for these characters so, so much. And now, having actually read Giovanni’s Room, I feel like I get this even more.
