Description

Emma Simpson is an author, cold water swimmer and tea drinker.

Her first book, Breaking Waves, is an exploration into the primal powers of femininity and water. It includes stories gathered from around the world that demonstrate the power of connection and humanity.

I devoured this brilliant book with it's deeply human connection with water, other people and ones self.

Here, Emma and I talk about the power of connection, the need to write and the way a naked swim just feels that much better!
