For readers of The Outrun and The Salt Path, a meditation on diving and fear, and what we're all really afraid of
As heard on This American Life

Georgie Codd is scared of fish. Really, really scared.

Loving the sea and resenting her phobia, she plots to cross continents, learn to dive and swim with the world's biggest fish: the mighty whale shark.

Georgie soon plunges into a realm of strange creatures and intrepid diving adventurers. But as her quest to fight fear expands over oceans, the shark remains elusive, and everything else starts to fall apart around her.

'We Swim to the Shark is a lesson in not giving up . . . as with all good adventure stories, the real benefit is in the searching' THE I

'An almost spiritual mission' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

'A terrific read' BBC RADIO NORFOLK

'An enthralling ride' ABC MELBOURNE
