Eva is on a journey to find a way to heal after the tragic death of her husband Jackson. She is lost, afraid and unsure and the only place she can think to go to, to feel close to Jackson once more is the Tasmanian island he was born. It's only too bad that his family don't seem to want her to come, that they really wish she would stay away. Because every family has secrets...
Right, I refuse to do any spoilers at all I will just tell you all about what I loved about this book... Eva's best friend is gorgeous, I love her so much, she reminded me of all my closest friends, all of the best people in your life that you can lean on. She is Eva's rock, even when she doesn't think she needs one. Then comes Jackson's brother - uh yes, he is amazing. Totally brilliant, a vibrant force you cannot ignore.
The whole island though is also just as much a character in this story. The water so blue you can see it in your minds eye as you read, the fish, the boats, the life under the waves. Every time someone dove into the water I could feel it ripple and felt so envious I wished I too could just dive into some beautiful body of water. As in The Sea Sisters the water plays a huge part and I just loved it!
This isn't just a book to make you fall in love with water or travelling (even though I now am), it is a story about discovering who you really are and Eva's journey is just so wonderful, so perfect I couldn't have asked for anything more. I suppose my only criticism is that I just didn't love the cover...but who cares when you have this book inside!?!
I am hoping Lucy will have another book out soon, but if I have to wait until next year I will. I just know it will be worth the wait.
