Review: Should have been 5*
Rating: 4 out of 5

I would have given a 5* review but unfortunately an editing mistake occurs in this particular Kindle edition which is being rectified as I type this review and will not appear in any more editions.From the first few pages I realised this is a book that I was going to enjoy very much and in the first few chapters I was already thinking I would have to leave a great review.We are lucky to get two stories in one book. The prologue starts with the Second World War to give us a taste of the second story. We then start with the present day. I know absolutely nothing about sailing so the narrative concerning all things maritime was delivered in such a way that I could `see' everything that was happening from the good to the bad things when the storm hits and the consequences that then happen.The descriptions of being imprisoned during the Second World War are quite harrowing and a lot of research has obviously been undertaken to get things right and juxtaposed with the present day story makes for a page-turning read.I am certainly looking forward to the sequel in this series.
