pickA lovely detailed and splendidly written book about a woman in her mid forties who journeys from Canada to Wells in Norfolk to investigate her father‘s mysterious past. The novel uses a time switch to tell the story. Some is set in war time Britain and some in recent times. The plot is rich with twists and turns and the writing is deft in its evocation of times gone by and sleepy coastal towns. To be recommended.
pickOne of my very favorite reading pleasures is to be simply surprised by a book...this is a perfect example. I had no inkling that this nondescript (though lovely) cover hid a wonderful gem of a story. My big takeaway here was female friendships, but there‘s also bittersweet first love, maternal devotion, triumph and tragedy, all taking place with the backdrop of WW2 England. This one will linger. Highly recommend. 5⭐️
