500    Simon and Shuster edition published as Mornings with 
       Rosemary. 
520    "A tender, joyous debut novel about a cub reporter and her
       eighty-six-year-old subject--and the unlikely and life-
       changing friendship that develops between them.  Kate is a
       twenty-six-year-old riddled with anxiety and panic attacks
       who works for a local paper in Brixton, London, covering 
       forgettably small stories. When she's assigned to write 
       about the closing of the local lido (an outdoor pool and 
       recreation center), she meets Rosemary, an eighty-six-year
       -old widow who has swum at the lido daily since it opened 
       its doors when she was a child. It was here Rosemary fell 
       in love with her husband, George; here that she's found 
       communion during her marriage and since George's death. 
       The lido has been a cornerstone in nearly every part of 
       Rosemary's life.  But when a local developer attempts to 
       buy the lido for a posh new apartment complex, Rosemary's 
       fond memories and sense of community are under threat.  As
       Kate dives deeper into the lido's history--with the help 
       of a charming photographer--she pieces together a portrait
       of the pool, and a portrait of a singular woman, Rosemary.
       What begins as a simple local interest story for Kate soon
       blossoms into a beautiful friendship that provides 
       sustenance to both women as they galvanize the community 
       to fight the lido's closure. Meanwhile, Rosemary slowly, 
       finally, begins to open up to Kate, transforming them both
       in ways they never knew possible.  In the tradition of 
       Frederick Backman, The Lido is a charming, feel-good novel
       that captures the heart and spirit of a community across 
       generations--an irresistible tale of love, loss, aging, 
       and friendship"--|cProvided by publisher.
