Beyond That, the Sea

Resumen del libro

As German bombs fall over London in 1940, working-class parents Millie and Reginald Thompson make the impossible choice to send their elevenyear- old daughter, Beatrix, to America. There, she'll live with another family for the duration of the war. Scared and lonely, Bea arrives in Boston to meet Mr and Mrs Gregory and their sons William and Gerald. She folds seamlessly into their world and adjusts to their affluent lifestyle. Before she even realises it, life with the Gregorys feels more natural to her than the quiet life she left in England. As Bea grows up, the girl she was begins to fade away, until, abruptly, she is called home to London when the war ends. While the memory of Bea's American family grips onto her, how can she ever move on?
