The best way I can describe this book is SIMPLY LOVELY. It is beautifully written, engaging, and fanciful in all the right ways. The split time story unfolds at a perfectly timed pace, and the ending is satisfying. I truly enjoyed this book!
Marine Archaelogist Lucy Clairmont has been brought up in a world that is full of wonder and mystery. She enjoys a closely knit family unit - she and her loving parents, who easily fold the lonely neighbor boy (Dashel Greene) into their lives. When the family experiences a major tragedy and Dashel is also forced to move back to the States, Lucy's heart is more than a little broken. She soldiers on, but life is never again the same.
When grown up Lucy and grown up Dash reconnect, they work together to solve a centuries-old mystery. What they find surprises everyone. The full picture unfolds intelligently, tying the knots between Lucy and Dashel's present day adventures with a love story from the early 1800's - but it's not a traditional one. It's better. This is a book I will be recommending and thinking about for a long time.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
