Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash

This was exactly what it needed to be. I’d read the first third of this unedited back in 2021 and really enjoyed it. So much so that when my boss said I didn’t need to finish it, I didn’t…because I wanted to read it in all it’s edited glory rather than speed ahead through the almost-there version. Even though I’m not a big rereader, I was still captivated even while reading the stuff I’d seen before. I teared up a bunch of times. Idk, it’s not great work of literature but it’s a damn good WWII historical fiction.
