Beyond That, the Sea (by Laura Spence-Ash)

What a beautiful book written during WWII. It was interesting getting to know Beatrix (Bea) as she leaves her parents and the bombings in London and travels to the U.S. to live with the Gregory family. I cannot begin to imagine being an 11-year-old girl being shipped overseas to live with strangers. And how amazing the Gregory family was to welcome her into their home and their lives. Bea’s connection with her “adoptive” family causes guilt and anguish. It was interesting to read how Bea grew and matured through the years. Not so much historical fiction but more of a character-driven book of fiction. But a good and highly recommended read. Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio/Celadon Books for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
