Beneath Pale Water by Thalia Henry
3.0
3.5 stars!
This novel is so different from the realistic fiction I’ve read before. The writing was lyrical and beautiful; I could see the landscaped described. This book has a melancholic yet tranquil feel with flawed main characters. I enjoyed it!
I might have missed out on some nuances that would have made my reading experience better, but this is still an interesting novel.
In terms of the characters, I found them to be complex and realistic. All three characters, Delia, Luke and Jane, are each dealing with their own problems that everyone can relate to. Delia’s yearning for freedom, Luke’s loneliness and Jane’s yearning for love created an interesting dynamic between the characters, that I can’t help but root for each of them.
I was pleasantly surprised at the plot reveals. Henry did an amazing job of linking all the character story arcs, creating a satisfying ending.
Overall, a beautiful story and I would recommend to anyone wanting a change of scenery or a novel with beautiful writing and flawed characters.
