THE SWIMMERS - CHLOE LANE KARTONIERT (TB)

• Longlisted for the Ockham Fiction Award 2021  alongside Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason.
Previous winners of the award include Eleanor Catton for The Luminaries. • A deeply personal
account of grief: Chloe Lane’s mother-in-law had motor neurone disease and partly inspired the
character of Erin’s mother. Though not autobiographical  The Swimmers benefits from Chloe
Lane’s experience of grieving a person who is still alive  which brings depth to the novel’s
portrayal of terminal illness. She is also a former competitive swimmer and art lover  like her
protagonist. • Antipodean Lit: Novels such as New Animal by Ella Baxter  Bodies of Light by
Jennifer Down and Meg Mason’s Sorrow and Bliss are putting the literary landscape of Australia
and New Zealand on the map. • Critically acclaimed in Lane’s native New Zealand: Called
‘intense  moving  and darkly comic’ by the New Zealand Herald  ‘a remarkable book’ by
award-winning review site anzlitlovers.com and ‘strangely compelling… intensely moving’ by the
Academy of New Zealand Literature. • Bookanista ran a feature on Chloe Lane and The Swimmers 
and Chloe Lane was a featured author on @twofondofbooks  an Instagram book club that has
featured authors such as Douglas Stuart (Shuggie Bain) and Daisy Johnson (Everything Under)
during publication week.
