( ) I have put off writing this review for a while now hoping the right words would come to me to do this story justice, but I truly don't think there are any. This book deserves all the stars and I truly believe it is one of the best books I have ever read. Amanda Dykes is such a wordsmith that I truly believe that she could make a grocery list sound poetic. This story is a split timeline and I loved the characters and stories for both. She is a master at weaving the two timelines together to tell a beautiful story. Historical fiction is not my go to genre, but I will read it any day from authors like her. It is obvious that she does a tremendous amount of research and the history comes alive through these amazing characters. I am not typically a very emotional person and very rarely cry at books, but let me tell you the tears flowed while reading this book. It is such a powerful story that I promise you will stay with you for a long time. "Whose Waves These Are" by Amanda Dykes is on my highly recommended list! It is amazing, inspirational, original, realistic, and patriotic while pointing to the God "whose waves these are". It is thought-provoking and heartwarming, putting you in the midst of a town you wish you could be a part of with people you want to be your best friends. You will not go wrong when you pick this book up, sit in your favorite reading spot with tea or hot chocolate and submerge yourself in Ansel-by-the-Sea. Whose Waves These Are is Amanda Dykes debut novel. What a debut it is! The story time hops from one generation to another and melds the two together. Get ready to ride on a wave of emotions and it begins with the opening chapter. As one twin brother is reading a letter from the local draft board, the other twin is beaming with news about a new arrival. And that is just the beginning! The characters are well developed. The setting of Ansel-By-The-Sea in Maine is breathtaking and quaint. Living by the ocean and what the sounds, smells and views do for my soul is hard to capture. But somehow the author is able to use ocean imagery and words that are deeply moving and capture your senses. You will be moved by this story and I can't promise that your eyes won't get misty. I'm always impressed when a fiction story can bring about more than just a story line but also a message filled with hope and learned lessons. Whose Waves These Are is a book that I will not soon forget. I'm looking forward to future books written by Amanda Dykes! **I received a review copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and this is my honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In the wake of WWII, a grieving fisherman submits a poem to a local newspaper: a rallying cry for hope, purpose . . . and rocks. Its message? Send me a rock for the person you lost, and I will build something life-giving. When the poem spreads farther than he ever intended, Robert Bliss's humble words change the tide of a nation. Boxes of rocks inundate the tiny, coastal Maine town, and he sets his calloused hands to work. Decades later, Annie Sawyer is summoned back to Ansel-by-the-Sea when she learns her Great-Uncle Robert, the man who became her refuge during the hardest summer of her youth, is now the one in need of help. But what greets her is a mystery: a wall of heavy boxes hiding in his home. Memories of stone ruins on a nearby island ignite a fire in her anthropologist soul to uncover answers. Together with the handsome and enigmatic postman, Annie uncovers the story layer by layer, yearning to resurrect the hope GrandBob once held so dear and to know the truth behind the chasm in her family's past. But mending what has been broken for so long may require more of her and those she loves than they are prepared to give."--Publisher description. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
