Castle of Water by Dane Huckelbridge
5.0
OMG- If you only read one other book this year, I think it needs to be Castle of Water. This book is both gripping and calming, happy and sad, and will keel you on the edge of your seat.
After their plane goes down in the South Pacific Barry, an American businessman, and Sophie, a French architect, find themselves the lone survivors of their crash. They both end up on the same small, unknown island some 300 miles away from their intended flight path. Despite their fears, sadness, anger, and annoyance they need to figure out a way to work together to survive on the island long enough to find a way back to civilization.
This book had me gripped from the beginning. Told from multiple third person view points Dean Hucklebridge brilliantly captures the fear and anguish both the castaways and their loved ones back home feel, and at the same time he captures the beauty of the island and the beauty that is found when 2 strangers learn to live with just each other.
Mr. Hucklebridge’s writing is so beautiful and the way he brings to life Barry, Sophie, the island, and more is absolutely amazing. I’m hoping the rest of his books are written just as beautifully.
