This week, Laura Spence-Ash is here to discuss Beyond That The Sea, which tells the story of two families living through World War II on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and the shy, irresistible young woman who will call them both her own.
“A young’s woman’s family loyalties are divided as she leaves her London home for Boston during WWII in Spence-Ash’s magnetic debut… Readers will be riveted.”
