Publisher's summary

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.

Great story

At first it was difficult to switch back and forth in time, but once the story got started, it was easy to follow. Loved the story line. Highly recommend.

Narrator

Not my cup of tea. To much up down exaggerated voice that is annoying. Ruins the book. I mean who speaks like that. No one. Annoying!! Ruins the whole experience. I be sure to avoid this narrator even if I really would like the book

A pleasant surprise!

I came upon this book among bargains offered by Amazon but what a jewel of a find. I bought the ebook and the audible book and am so glad I did. Listening to the book was like eating the most delicious meal. I didn't want it to be over. The reader was delightful and conveighed the spirit of the story beautifully. An overall wonderful experience.

Special story!!

I loved this book and wish everyone with a troubled marriage would read it. Love can be revived if one is willing to let go of preconceived expectations. Most relationships are worth salvaging but they need truth and honesty. Thank you for this book.

Sea of Memories

First book I have read by you and I found it an excellent read. I look forward to reading more of your books. I would have like to have know if Ella's daughter had read the manuscript.
Thanks for a wonderful, heartfelt story.

Simply a wonderful read!

This is a captivating and totally engrossing novel. I lost myself in the characters, the island, the love and the heartache of this beautiful story and did not want it to come to an end. It is so well written and so beautifully performed that I was transported into the story and that almost never happens to me. I highly recommend this exceptional book and have already downloaded another by Ms. Valpy!
