Plot summary
Mercedes Gleitze is a swimmer in Britain in the 1920s. In 1927 she sets out to swim the English Channel, and no British woman has made that crossing before her. Harold Best is her coach, and the cold water of the Channel is one thing she has to face. The society she lives in is another, and it works against a woman taking on the feat.
