Summary
As World War II rages, love, mystery, and secrets collide on the English coast in a riveting novel by the bestselling author of The Snow Gypsy.
In April 1943 a young woman washes ashore on a deserted beach in Cornwall, England. With shorn hair and a number stitched on her tattered chemise, Alice is the survivor of a ship torpedoed by a German U-boat. She's found by the mysterious Viscount Jack Trewella, who suspects that she's a prisoner of war or a spy. But the secret Alice asks Jack to keep is one he could never have guessed, and it creates an intimate bond he never expected.
With her true identity hidden beneath the waves, Alice grasps the chance to reinvent herself. But as she begins to fall for Jack, she discovers he has secrets too - ones echoing the legend of a mermaid said to lure men into the dark depths of the sea.
For two strangers in the shadow of war, lost love, and haunting memories, is it time to let go of the past? Or to finally face it - whatever the risks?

Mystery or romance?
From the description, I was expecting more of a mystery, and what I got was really a slightly by-the-numbers romance. I was waiting for more of a twist at the end, with maybe a traitor revealed, but rather it was simple HEA ending. But it was well read and passed some hours easily enough. The Catholic angst was well done.
If you have stayed at the Budock Vean Hotel, walked to Durgan, or visited the gardens running down to the Helford, this is a good holiday read.

An exploration of Catholic religious doctrine
I really struggled with this as I wasn't expecting to be confronted by endless discussion on Catholic doctrine and an individual's battle to question it. However, the soothing Irish accent was good for bed time.

Boring
Do like a good war story but this was tedious. Weak story line, weak characters… just didn’t think the plot was very good.
