Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash is a captivating historical novel about the life of a young girl, Beatrix, who lives in London during WWII. Her parents choose to have her sent to the US to stay with the Gregory's until the war is over. This is a multi-POV that spans thirty-seven years. Each chapter is from one person's point of view and is short which cuts down on the confusion that often times comes with multi-POV books.
The story was sweet and unpredictable. It was interesting and unique to see the WWII era from an adolescent's point of view. The narration was wonderful and very easy to listen to. Obviously a lot happens in the span of thirty-seven years, but the author did an outstanding job tying everything up by the end. I love how we follow all the characters from a young age all the way into adulthood. Very satisfying read! Highly suggest!
