The Captain's Daughter by Meg Mitchell Moore
4.0
Beautifully written with realistic characters. They aren’t perfect, they are flawed and they make questionable choices but they are still good people.
Eliza is the daughter of a lobster man.
Her mom died when she was young.
Her dad raised her alone and Eliza grew up with little money.
When she had a chance to leave town for college, she took it. She never went back home except for visiting.
Now she is married, with two children of her own and a loving husband. She’s also extremely wealthy because of her mother-in-law.
She’s never felt good enough for the life she lives.
When she finds out her dad is very sick, she goes back home to be with him.
She leaves her husband and kids at home.
Poor Eliza feels distant from both her father and her husband and kids.
Sometimes I didn’t agree with the characters’ decisions but I didn’t have to in order to enjoy the story. All of the characters are likable, they’re just not perfect. It felt believable.
I enjoyed the setting and I liked the characters.
This is my first time reading a book by this author and I like her style of writing a lot.
