[.ca] Between The Tides

Terrific Beach Read!:
This was the first of Henry's novels that I've picked up, but now I can't wait to try her others! I loved every aspect of this book- from the well-developed characters, to the vivid descriptions of the inner turmoil in dealing with the past and present. Spectacular imagery really made it easy for me to feel that I was right there watching the whole thing. *slight spoiler below* Although I did see the "secret" coming for quite awhile, and I thought the explanation for the revelation (eye color, blood type) was a little fantastical, I still very much enjoyed this novel.

Excellent!!!:
I knew nothing of this author before getting this book as a book club choice. I was completely taken in by every aspect of the book. A great read, a perfect choice for a book club or individual reading. She uses wording that paints wonderful pictures in the mind...yet leaves just enough for you to finish the picutre yourself. I really loved it because it did show how children carry things that happen to them or involving them into adulthood. And how things could have been different had adults realized these things and dealt with them at the time. Yes, things are hard for children to understand, but that is where parents and adults really need to take the time to see things through the childs eyes. A wonderful book.. I highly encourage you to read it.

Great read!!:
I read this book over the summer and it is one of the best I have read in awhile! I could not put it down! A fascinating look at complex relationships!!

Bravo!:
My first book by this author and I've already gone back for more. I loved this story.

fast and with a slight twist:
Although quite predictable, the author does have a flair with catching the reader's interest with her intertwining of the story. It reads very quickly, so great for a plane, train or bus take along!
