This wartime novel reads a bit more intense with war detail than A Fall of Marigolds and Secrets of a Charmed Life yet the page turning mystery vibe is ever present. I had not realized I was reading a different sub-genre of Historical Mystery but I certainly am a fan of Meissner's approach to this category. Another read covering two timelines that's done well and...this time let's add a little something extra that I would not normally gravitate to but "Well Done"! A reminder there is life going on during savage war and a lesson of how life is lead after war, what we forget and what can never be forgotten. ( ) A BRIDGE ACROSS THE OCEAN by Susan Meissner is a wartime mystery novel about two women who have both gone through much during the war and are going to America on RMS Queen Mary as war brides. Simone Deveraux lost her father and brother who both got shot for being part of the Resistance. She had to stay hidden for fear of the Gestapo who is after her. Annaliese Lange married a brutal Nazi and the voyage to America is her ticket to freedom. On the voyage truths be revealed and only one of them will, in the end, disembark in New York Harbor.

READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW OVER AT FRESH FICTION! BRIDGE ACROSS THE OCEAN by Susan Miessner I don’t usually like “ghost” stories, but this one was intriguing. Give it a chance. After WWII many American GI’s married the women came to know and love while overseas, this book tells the story of three of them. The “War Brides” came to the United States only after being cleared by the US government and passing health exams. They came in large groups on former troop ships to at last rejoin their husbands, often with small children in tow. A present day woman who “sees ghosts” is talked into visiting the Queen Mary in its California dock to reassure a young girl. What she finds there is not the Ghost of the young girls dead mother but an entirely different ghost, one who leads her to research the war brides who traveled on the ship in 1946. Interesting and well researched with believable characters and situations, Miessner tells a tale of love, betrayal, and desperation. 5 of 5 stars aucune critique | ajouter une critique
