Beyond That, the sea by Laura Spence-Ash is a captivating, compelling, suspenseful page turner. The pros and storytelling by the author was mesmerizing. It had excellent character development which included infatuation, love and loss. Especially interesting was the character development of Bea from a bewildered young girl to a confident young woman. It was a nice touch to see the characters of Ethan and Reginald develop a relationship from America to war-torn England. When each discovered the other’s interest in chess, it established a bond between them. Tragically both of these characters died at a relatively young age. The pros and storytelling by the author was mesmerizing. I felt it was an incredible debut by this author. I received a copy of this from the author through BookishFirst and these opinions are solely my own. I rated it a five.
