Set during World War II and its aftermath, Beyond That, the Sea follows Beatrix, an eleven-year-old evacuated from London to Boston. Far from home, she is taken into the Gregory family and grows up split between two households, two cultures, and shifting loyalties.

The novel charts Bea’s passage from child to adult through summers on the New England coast, close family bonds, and a return to postwar London that forces hard choices about love and identity. It explores how memory, loss, and forgiveness shape who we become.

Quietly emotional and richly observant, the story emphasizes character and the small, consequential moments that bind families across oceans.
