stephisbooked 's review for:

Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash

5.0

---

For someone who doesn't read a ton of historical fiction, I could not put this book down. It was such a lovely story even though it was pretty dark throughout. While there are a decent amount of characters, I had no trouble keeping them in order and found the many relationships to be fully formed and unique. I alternated between listening and reading this one - the audiobook was beautifully done but I did appreciate the book having the year written on the bottom on each page which made it easier to keep track of with all the time jumps.
