Hamilton, Bermuda, 2022

Eight decades later, troubled by her future, Saoirse O’Donnell walks on the pink sands of Bermuda’s Horseshoe Bay. When she uncovers a connection to Eliza, all those years before, she hears a story that promises to influence her own heart and her own choice – but that also reveals a long-buried secret.

My Thoughts:

The story alternates between 1939 and 2022, I loved reading about Eliza who lived in Ireland in 1939 just before WWII happened. I found her story incredibly interesting and heartfelt. A love story at it’s best. In 2022 Saoirse finds out she has a connection with Eliza and then we see the stories intertwine. There is a lot of historic detail through out this book which made it even more interesting to me to read, you can see Carmel has researched well into this novel. I loved it from the start to the very end. A must read.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
