A review by libby_cana
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley

5.0

I read many books and although I like the majority of them, it isn’t often that I decide to write a review for one. This is one of the few exceptions so far. I’ve had an interest in genealogy for a long time now and this story does a fantastic job at making a family tree come alive in a way that most genealogists could only dream of. The author’s descriptive language and historical accounts, tied together with a modern day story (it is basically two stories in one book) had me hooked from the second chapter and I couldn’t put it down. It’s not easy to make me cry... but this book had me tearing up a couple of times. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Now I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.
