FreePeter Rock’s stunning autobiographical novel, The Night Swimmers (Soho), begins in the ’90s on the Door Peninsula of Wisconsin. The narrator, a recent college graduate, and a young widow, Mrs. Abel, swim together at night. The nature of these night swims becomes increasingly mysterious to the narrator, until the night that Mrs. Abel disappears. Twenty years later, the narrator – now married with two daughters – tries to understand those months, his forgotten obsessions, and dreams.
