Natasha is doing well: she's writing her dissertation and working with her husband at the biology institute. Many would love such a life. But at night, she dreams of swimming alongside the rats in the lab's tanks, desperately clawing her way through the rigors.

It turns out Natasha didn't want to enroll in the biology department—her mother made the decision for her. Her mother is gone, but she has a husband who considers her creative pursuits a waste of money and a frivolity. Natasha dreams of becoming a photographer, but the stopwatch rings, and she must keep swimming—and so on ad infinitum.

But perhaps, on the next lap of this merciless swim, Natasha will find a second wind and the strength to say, "I don't want to do this anymore!"

A redemptive novel about the search for meaning, the ringing loneliness, and the lack of love—first and foremost, of oneself; and also that it’s never too late to stop the never-ending race and do what you’ve always dreamed of.
