Hegel writes in a beautiful style about a post WWII family comprised of a little girl who is growing up and coming of age with her artistic mother and her stiff father who is a dentist. Her mother takes her to the quarry and teaches her to swim during thunder and lightening storms and swims in circles, holding her daughter's hands eventually letting go, thus the title. A lovely book. Well worth the read.
