Fleeing an East Coast life marred by tragedy, Ada Santorini
takes up residence on houseboat number seven on Boat Street. She discovers a trunk left behind by Penny
Wentworth, a young newlywed who lived on the boat half a century earlier. Ada longs to know her predecessor’s fate, but
little suspects that Penny’s mysterious past and her own clouded future are
destined to converge.
My Thoughts
This was my first novel by Sarah Jio and I quickly fell in love with the characters and her flare for storytelling. I was instantly pulled in and didn't want to let either Penny or Ada go. My heart just broke for both of them and their stories were so beautifully woven together I never wanted an ending. Part love story, part mystery and I really felt like I became part of the houseboat community. I listened to this on audio and loved the narration - when listening to audio the narrator either makes or breaks a story. And this narrator was defiantly a winner. I can't wait to dive further into the tales of Sarah Jio and see where she takes me next.
and P.S. Why haven't her novels been adapted into movies yet?
