Somewhere Beyond the Sea by Miranda Dickinson
4.0
Set in the beautiful Cornish town of St Ives, Seren MacArthur is grieving for her father whilst trying to save the art gallery business he loved so much. Jack Dixon, a widower with a young daughter Nessie is living in a caravan park, desperately trying to hold things together and keep their heads above water.
Jack and his daughter Nessie, love making shapes out of the seaglass that is washed up on Gwithian beach and one day, Seren finds one uncompleted and decides to finish it off. Making the stars between them gives a little bit of magic and happiness to both Seren and Jack.
As well as trying to keep her father's business going, Seren is leading a community campaign to try and save a local landmark, the home of local female astronomer Elinor Carne. When Jack is employed as a project manager by the man who wants to develop the site Jack and Seren end up on opposing sides of the battle.
This a magical story, set in a beautiful part of the world. Miranda Dickinson is good at creating characters you feel you could be friends with and a story that keeps you wanting more. Really enjoyed this.
