Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-05 00:00:00 Risto Ilkka I loved this when I started reading it. Bit of mystery, history etc. The further I read the more disappointed I became. Very fanciful indeed and the ending really flopped. Oh well |
Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-02 00:00:00 Jim Myers This was the second reading of this book after a period of a number of years. Second time around I picked up a lot of detail and information that I missed or couldn’t remember in the first reading. I have always wondered what happened at Slapton Sands and this book gave me a good understanding of what happened. I sometimes found Cottam’s vision of England in the heat of the 1976 summer quite harsh! Of course, it is written through the eyes of Alice, an American girl studying in England with a view to finding out the mystery behind Slapton for herself. On the whole, I enjoyed this book, even though it left me sad to think of the Americans who shouldn’t have died that way and the villagers forced to leave their homes. |
