The Tidal Year
Freya’s first book is a true story about the healing power of wild swimming and the space it creates for reflection, rewilding, and hope. An exploration of grief in the modern age, it's also a tale of loss, love, female rage and sisterhood.
“Immersive and compelling. I read it in a single day! Everyone should take a plunge into this book.”
