From the first line you are drawn in to a scene, an environment, characters and a story that is engaging and filled with beautifully descriptive images.
The use of names and places and style of writing places you right there, witnessing this unique story unfold.
The story of a young girl in the 1600s and a young boy in the 1980s. With rich back stories for each character and the unusual setting of a sea voyage, the reader is taken on not one but two journeys, that of the two main characters. Both a physical and emotional journey ensues and the reader is thoroughly engaged in each page.
Lovely to see the old and the new combined. The use of evocative images and place names (e.g. Zider Zee) immediately transports you to the character’s situation so you get a sense of the magic of a sea voyage but with the harsh realities of life, both physical and emotional challenges.
