A Bridge Across the Ocean

By Susan Meissner
Lexile - ?

Meissner might be my favorite author right now and I just received a shipment with MORE of her books! A Bridge Across the Ocean is a ghost story. Meissner is able to entwine stories of the past and present and create a narrative that makes sense. Three stories here: Simone is the daughter of a French Resistance leader. When he is killed, she must go into hiding. Annaliese is a carefree Belgian Ballerina forced to marry a cruel Nazi officer. And Brette, a modern woman who can see the spirits that inhabit the "thin places".

The author ties their stories together and I set everything else aside in MY life until I finished this book! Reminded me of Secrets of a Charmed Life and Lilac Girls. And yet it IS a ghost story. And you will never guess WHO the ghost is!
