The House at Mermaid's Cove by Lindsay Jayne Ashford
4.0
This a wonderful WWII novel set in Cornwall in the months leading up to the invasion at Normandy. This novel was so many things, I had thought it would be a love story but it was more a story of a woman discovering who she was and what is that she wanted.
It was a very interesting and different premise as the story is told through the eyes of a woman who has been largely removed from the war. Discovering the atrocities and events along with the main character, Alice, was a very interesting perspective. I enjoyed that Alice was not ignorant to war and violence as one may assume from her distance from the war, it made her a very well-rounded character.
This is a beautiful story of self-discovery, family, and all of the ways that we, as humans, can show our love and compassion for one another.
