Childhood friends Lucy and Dashel grow up forming treasured memories together. Separated during a time of grief, they go their own ways. Years later, Lucy is now a marine archaeologist and Dashel is a forensic astronomer, they are brought together for the search for the long lost Jubilee, driven by stories from their childhood to find the missing ship.
Two hundred years earlier we also follow the story of childhood sweethearts, as they face war and betrayal.
Timelines entwine in this powerful story of love and redemption.
This book started out slow for me as we are introduced to multiple characters in various situations, but as the dots started to connect I didn't want to put it down. This is my first read from this author, who came to me highly recommended, and this book certainly didn't disappoint! I loved how the story was told through dual timelines, and I was equally invested in both of the stories.
Well developed characters, that are complex. This book is very character driven, as well as plot driven. And I loved Lucy's father and his stories that he told. I also loved the strong faith portrayed in this beautiful and well layered book. A captivating story, poignant and powerful. You won't regret picking this one up, I know I sure don't!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
