About this listen

When Kendra first visits her ailing grandmother, Ella has only one request: that Kendra write her story down, before she forgets…

In 1937, seventeen-year-old Ella’s life changes forever when she is sent to spend the summer on the beautiful Île de Ré and meets the charismatic, creative Christophe. They spend the summer together, exploring the island’s sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, and, for the first time in her life, Ella feels truly free.

But the outbreak of war casts everything in a new light. Ella is forced to return to Scotland, where she volunteers for the war effort alongside the dashing Angus. In this new world, Ella feels herself drifting further and further from who she was on the Île de Ré. Can she ever find her way back? And does she want to?

From the windswept Île de Ré to the rugged hills of Scotland, Sea of Memories is a spellbinding journey about the power of memory, love and second chances.

I didn't Finnish the book as I didn't like the narrator.i think maybe a different voice would have been better.

this was a very enjoyable book which I wish I had read rather than listened to. I found the false Scottish accent very irritating and had it not been such a good story, I would not have persevered with it. There are many good Scottish narrators who could have done justice to this well structured, interesting book.

What a range, this story goes from before WW2 to the RAF, spying and the problems of love marrage and children. In the end finding peace.

Well planned years, a story well told.

At the end of EVERY phrase, the reader put on a sing song up and down voice which was interspersed with a “Brig o’Doon” accent. I only lasted for the 1st paragraph and then scrubbed it. Fortunately I can read it on my Kindle and the story was good. A pity it was spoilt!

Good story, annoying reader

The story was ok in itself but I really struggled with the narrator and narration at times.
