The Lady of the Pier - The Ebb (The Lady of the Pier, #1)by Effrosyni MoschoudiThe story takes place in Brighton(UK)1937, and Corfu(Greece) 1987. 1937, Laura Mayfield and her mother move to Brighton to start a new life.

But it comes at a cost, will her love for Christian prevail?Corfu 1987 Sofia Aspioti goes to visit her grandparents for the summer, there she meets up with her childhood friends, and gets a job on the pier. She also meets Danny Markson and their love blossoms, even though if her family found out it would cause great problems in her life.The Sophia has dreams of the Pier and a woman in black. The dreams are haunting her and carry over into her every day life. Who is this mysterious woman in black? Why does Sophia feel sadness when she has these dreams? What do these dreams mean ?A well written story, perfectly blending the story of both women. You get the feel of what each person is going through, the descriptive prose brings you into the story, filled with emotions. I really liked Laura and Sophia, I could relate to what each was going through.I also enjoyed the location, and the accuracy of each era. I highly recommend to those who love Romance/Drama. I Also recommend The Necklace of Goddess Athena, by Effrosyni Moschoudi.*I was given this books as a gift.
