"A beautifully compelling and compassionate story of three women from three generations exploring life together in the most wonderful of locations"
Oh what a lovely, comforting, joyous read this is, while there are dark times and layers of intricacies waiting to be discovered, it exudes warmth and compassion. Three women come together at Ocean’s End, a ramshackle house with a glorious history, they meet with secrets and sadness, yet bloom in each other’s company.
The past and a fourth woman play a significant role in the storyline, all the differences merge and blend to form an eventful and evocative story. Author Faith Hogan writes with her trademark empathetic pen, it feels as though she knows these women intimately, cares about them, and in her writing, passes those feelings on the reader.
I in turn came to love the characters, and they felt entirely real to me as I lived in their world. The location is stunning, an island of two villages and Ocean’s End sitting between them. The house joins the women as something to care about, it harbours them, and creates a vibrant sense of place.
The different ages of the three main characters allows an insight into the stages of life, of the connections, the things that are really important. The depth and awareness to be found within this novel ensured it joins our LoveReading Star Book collection. Meaningful and captivating, The Women at Ocean’s End beats with a heartfelt poignant joy, highly recommended.
