I just finished reading Kate Breslin's Far Side of the Sea. This book has it all, romance and war, spies, a black book and many historical details. A great book to curl up with on a summer day. One of the historical items was a Gimmel ring. 3 rings that come together to form 1 complete ring. I love reading Ms. Breslin's books as I always learn something new. She also weaves the story of God's love and forgiveness into her stories. Her writing skills continue to grow and I await with great anticipation her next book.
So grab a pot of tea, no sugar due to rationing, and curl up for a superb read!
I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
In spring 1918, Lieutenant Colin Mabry, a British soldier working with MI8 after suffering injuries on the front, receives a message by carrier pigeon. It is from Jewel Reyer, the woman he once loved and who saved his life--a woman he believed to be dead. Traveling to France to answer her urgent summons, he desperately hopes this mission will ease his guilt and restore the courage he lost on the battlefield.
Colin is stunned, however, to discover the message came from Jewel's half sister, Johanna. Johanna, who works at a dovecote for French Army Intelligence, found Jewel's diary and believes her sister is alive in the custody of a German agent. With spies everywhere, Colin is skeptical of Johanna, but as they travel across France and Spain, a tentative trust begins to grow between them.
When their pursuit leads them straight into the midst of a treacherous plot, danger and deception turn their search for answers into a battle for their lives.
