[close] Sea Change tells the story of Alice and her mother Violet in alternating chapters. Vi's story is set during the time preceding and during WWII. Alice's story is set in the early 70's as Hippie youth are traveling the world; Alice's journey ending in India where she experiences a devastating Tsunami. At heart, in this novel, are the struggle of Mother and Daughter to connect; the secrets families and lovers keep and the deep pain we cause each other. Rossiter's use of setting portions of her story in Imber recalls the little known and tragic history of an English village sacrificed to war. Recommended for fans of historical fiction.
