The Edge of the Water

by Elizabeth Fenton

Shortly before her fortieth birthday, Molly, receives a letter from a daughter she had given up for adoption when she was a teenager. At a point in her life where Molly needs to find answers about her own identity, she sets out across the country to meet her estranged daughter on Ridgeport Island, a small island in Maine. A future beyond any of Molly s expectations waits for her discovery if only she can unlock the door she had closed on her past. The daughter, Electra, offers Molly that key, and a local bachelor helps her to use it, opening her heart to the possibilities.

[Marge · Rating 3 out of 5]

This second young adult novel, set on Whidbey Island, continues the story of Becca, on the run from homicidal stepfather. I don't ususally read teen novels, but Elizabeth George is on of my favorite authors, so I have to keep up. This is very different from the Thomas Lynley series, of course.

Strange story I could enjoy the “whispers” but the seal conclusion was too much!
