Review
Francesca Capaldi writes captivating historical fiction sagas. I recommend taking the time to read the Beach Hotel saga. The rich historical detail, complexity of characters and sweet romances are sure to delight most of my followers. In this finale, the Great War has ended and the characters look forward with hope to a world of peace and prosperity. But first, they have to figure out who want in that future. I enjoyed the story - it's sweet and a good conclusion for the characters - though I agree with other reviewers that it felt a little rushed. This could simple be because I didn't want it to end!
This book is the conclusion to the Beach Hotel saga. While you can read it as a standalone, it will lack some of the emotional satisfaction that comes when you have known and loved these characters throughout the series.
