Echoes of Time - Anne Allen
Saga / Romantic Mystery (290 pages - August 2016)
Echoes of Time is Book #5 in The Guernsey Novels, a series of standalone stories set on the beautiful island of Guernsey in the English Channel. It’s dual-time, following the life of Olive, a farmer’s wife during the German Occupation in WWII along with what happens when Natalie buys what was Olive’s farm house in 2010.
"[...] Not only is the plot packed full of twists and turns, but the setting - and the characters - are lovingly described. There is, I think, nothing better than a novel written by an author who knows how to balance setting, speech and plot. A powerful family drama packed full of mystery and intrigue. A stunningly good read." - Reader Review
