Welcome to Litsy!

The story of Gertrude Ederle (Trudy) the first woman to swim the English Channel. A natural born swimmer, She loved the water. She was one of the first women to compete in the Olympics. She was certain she could swim across the Channel. With her second try she did it! Trudy suffered from loss of hearing in one ear and had lots of ear infections. She was shy and didn‘t like the limelight. The first chapters were slow, the rest were great. 4/5

I just started reading this. I hope it will be as good as its reviews. The prologue and first couple of chapters didn‘t grab my attention. I‘m finding it more interesting with each new chapter.

All my sport at the moment is done in my dreams! This reading list might inspire me to think about road back to activity!
