The beauty in The Sea Gate rests in the setting. Deeply atmospheric and reflective of the rich location in which it is set, The Sea Gate offers a wonderful tribute to Cornwall. The past and present timelines both clearly illuminate this setting base extremely well. In fact, I was reminded of a trip I made as a young girl of just eleven to the Smugglers Cove area while reading this book. If you are a fan of great writers such as Daphne Du Maurier you will appreciate all The Sea Gate has to offer. Highly atmospheric and vividly drawn, it was a pleasure to read the rolling descriptions of this picturesque British location. Our rooms are comfortable yet stylishly elegant. Choose from twin or double beds, all with modern comforts and features for all the family to enjoy, coupled with Nespresso coffee machines and Bramley toiletries, we can be sure you will have a luxurious stay. The Sea Gate Community has a wonderfully restored private beach, thanks to the USACE and DEC who built T-Groins and replenished some of the sand lost in Sandy and over the years. The T-Groins will mitigate the loss of sand and protect the Community residences and surrounding areas from excessive damage from wave surges in the future. The Sea Gate Community also hopes to have all of its bulkheads restored by winter 2017 to bring additional mitigation. Events leading up to Mamie’s death, a child with disabilities, is heartbreaking. Something happens on that ill-fated night when Olivia meets escaped war prisoner Hamid. It changes her life forever. Olivia and Hamid begin a forbidden brief affair, and from then on, their secret from the night of Mamie’s murder is kept well hidden until decades later. That’s when Rebecca arrives at Chynalls to help Olivia, and uncovers it.My complete review of "The Sea Gate" can be found on my blog: https://fictionophile.com/2020/06/11/... Berger, Joseph.

While the plot is fairly compelling, it falls flat. The characters are just not fleshed out and they make decisions that baffled me. Why the present day character throws over her entire life to go care for an elderly relative she's only met once as a child makes no sense. Another issue I had was that the supporting characters were all either completely horrible, or completely saintlike. There were no nuances. And frankly, the 2 main characters were not that endearing either.Secrets emerge slowly as the story follows Olivia and her war-time struggles, her secret love, her passion in painting and photography, the Sea Gate with its intricate carvings and the secret tunnel that hides more than it reveals. Thru’ Algeria, Morocco, France and England, and the different cultures and religious faiths the author keeps the reader enthralled and spell bound. There is something about cancer and its effects that always leaves a lump in my throat but Jane Johnson has wonderfully interlaced the story positively with love and strength.

Olivia doesn’t conform to what society wants her to do, who she should be, or what she should want. She approaches life differently. For that, I adored her immensely. Her story pulled all emotions. Glimmer and the captain set his ship on fire and crash it into the Horde ship, causing Catra and the crew to retreat. She-Ra completes her healing of the Sea Gate to Mermista's surprise. Mermista then gives Sea Hawk a new ship, which he does not promise to not set on fire. Mermista agrees to join the Princess Alliance, and Bow and Sea Hawk entertain the heroes with a great sea shanty duet. The Sea Gate by Jane Johnson is an epic historical fiction that is full of intrigue, secrets and family drama. Its dual timeline and dual narration make for an incredible saga that will whisk you away to the beautiful shores of Cornwall. It is a well-written love story that will surprise and engage fans of the genre. She returned home, gave up her office job in London, sold her flat and shipped the contents to Morocco. In October she married her own 'Berber pirate' and now they split their time between Cornwall and a village in the Anti-Atlas Mountains.
