review 1: This book caught my eye because the author is from Sanibel Island and one of the many settings of the book is Sanibel. I really loved visiting there and I thought I'd give the book a try! This book is written about 2 women, Ava from the 1800's and Lydia in the 1950's. Their lives end up running parallel to each other when Marlena meets Lydia when she is young. I really enjoyed this book ... it was great to read about a beach town while we were going through such an awful winter here. If you enjoy stories about women and their struggles with love set in a beach town, you will enjoy this one!
review 2: 3 1/2 stars. Loved the two stories concept paralleling each other. This is a book about girls/women who lived in two different generations (late 1890s and l... moreate 1950s) but were strong, creative, and independent despite what their families and society thought about it. It is also about the idea that love and marriage don't always work out the way dreams and expectations would have them. And finally it is a story about women's issues like the different forms of depression that can plague women and the gender roles they are harnessed with. I found myself comparing my life to those of the characters which I feel was one of the author's purposes in writing this book. We all need to find our "portion of the sea." less
