The House at Mermaid's Cove by Lindsay Jayne Ashford

4.0

This was such a wonderful book. It was a quick and easy read, but it packed a punch too. After a boating accident, Alice washes up on a cove in Cornwall. She now has a choice to make share her real identity or make a new life for herself as someone new.

This book is takes place right before D-Day and it focuses around Alice's new life and the friendships that she makes as well as a love interest. It also tackled the hard issues that were going on during the war and the work of the Resistance.

One of my favorite parts were the author's notes and hearing about her inspirations for the book. Some of the characters were based on real people and the area of Cornwall played an important role in WWII. I learned so much and would love to visit some of these places in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC. This is my honest review.
