A Natalie Portman Book Club Pick! Colombe Schneck, SWIMMING IN PARIS: A Life in Three Stories

French documentary film director, journalist, and bestselling author Colombe Schneck joins Zibby to discuss SWIMMING IN PARIS, the Natalie Portman Book Club Pick and a brilliantly written, searingly intimate piece of biographical fiction about a woman experiencing all of life: friendships, love, sex, abortion, and swimming. Colombe shares why she finally felt compelled to write about her abortion in a burst of raw emotion after decades of silence. She also touches on the trauma carried by her Holocaust-survivor parents, the realities of growing up in a liberal Parisian environment, the death of a close childhood friend, a painful breakup, and the solace she found in swimming.  Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/46BbMrsShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
