I have a bit of an obsessive appreciation for Holocaust literature. The survivor stories display an amazing range of emotions which were seamlessly illustrated in this fictional tale. A tale that utilized easily relatable characters with the underdog spirit you love to root for.We're always rooting for the happy ending, and the Holocaust period rarely has one. Eoin Dempsey has written a beautiful love story in the midst of great turmoil. His imagery is emotional and beautiful and you can easily picture yourself along that same beach that Christopher (main character) and Rebecca (secondary main character) walked along in those youthful years prior to WWII breaking out.Does love triumph in the midst of such horrendous atrocities? Does evil get the final say over life and love? I suggest that you read this novel for yourself to find out. You won't regret it.
