SynopsisWhen Kendra first visits her ailing grandmother, Ella has only one request: that Kendra write her story down, before she forgets... In 1937, seventeen-year-old Ella's life changes forever when she is sent to spend the summer on the beautiful Île de Ré and meets the charismatic, creative Christophe. They spend the summer together, exploring the island's sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, and, for the first time in her life, Ella feels truly free. But the outbreak of war casts everything in a new light. Ella is forced to return to Scotland, where she volunteers for the war effort alongside the dashing Angus. In this new world, Ella feels herself drifting further and further from who she was on the Île de Ré. Can she ever find her way back? And does she want to? From the windswept Île de Ré to the rugged hills of Scotland, Sea of Memories is a spellbinding journey about the power of memory, love and second chances., When Kendra first visits her ailing grandmother, Ella has only one request: that Kendra write her story down, before she forgets...

Overdone and melodramatic love story
I found the author's writing style overly verbose. When one simile or metaphor would have been fine, she used two or three. The story itself is believable and perhaps had its origins in real-life experiences, but the extreme contrasts between life in Scotland versus a summer vacation on an island off the French coast did not ring true. If Edinburgh was so terrible, then how did the heroine manage to adapt happily to life there after the war? Just another overly melodramatic love story with some geographical details (albeit overdone) thrown in.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
