This book wasn't really what I was expecting. I think the cover art is lovely but doesn't quite fit with the story. In essence, Sail Upon the Land is the story of four generations of women. We start with Damson who is in India in 1987 where a horrible experience changes her life. Then we go back to Sarah during WWII and follow the story of the family right back full circle.

I liked this book from the beginning but by the end I loved it and didn't want it to end. It was a bit of a slow burner in that respect and the occasional feeling of disjointedness disappeared as the whole story came together with a heart-warming conclusion. The writing and the characterisations are excellent and I really cared about the characters. I've now bought this author's first book as I enjoyed this one so much.

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for providing a copy for review.… (més)
