Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Sea Glass: A Novel

Book Review: A 3.4 on a scale of 1 to 5-enjoyable for its genre
Summary: 3 Stars

My problem with her-or her marketing team-is that she appears to strive for higher literary goals. And I don't feel she achieves them.

However, this book recounts an interesting story. In the early years of the depression, a young bride learns about life and love in a big old home in New Hampshire. A secondary character, a young Boston socialite, matures through her interactions with this New Hampshire community. In the background, fierce and bloody union wars rage: an intriguing glimpse into the social fabric of the region at that time.

I would recommend this book to individuals who enjoy melodrama, women's stories, and historical fiction (early 1930's). I would not recommend this book to individuals who expect or demand the highest literary standards from their authors.
