About this listen

When Kendra first visits her ailing grandmother, Ella has only one request: that Kendra write her story down, before she forgets…

In 1937, seventeen-year-old Ella’s life changes forever when she is sent to spend the summer on the beautiful Île de Ré and meets the charismatic, creative Christophe. They spend the summer together, exploring the island’s sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, and, for the first time in her life, Ella feels truly free.

But the outbreak of war casts everything in a new light. Ella is forced to return to Scotland, where she volunteers for the war effort alongside the dashing Angus. In this new world, Ella feels herself drifting further and further from who she was on the Île de Ré. Can she ever find her way back? And does she want to?

From the windswept Île de Ré to the rugged hills of Scotland, Sea of Memories is a spellbinding journey about the power of memory, love and second chances.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a great story and well written. However I found there was no pause at the end of each sentence and it tended to run together.

A wonderful story of love and hope, patience and understanding and most of all, forgiveness. A story to encourage you to stop and remember all the challenges and disappointments and also all the very good things we need to remember to appreciate!

This is a lovely, gentle, easy to listen book. Set in both France and Scotland it tells the story of first love, loss, heartache and recovery. Whilst the narration was not my favourite it did not detract from my enjoyment of the story.
