historical fiction
Sara Gruen is also the author of one of my favorite novels, Water for Elephants. I've not read any of her other novels because they did not appeal to me. I enjoyed At the Water's Edge but not as much as Water for Elephants.
This story is about the adventures of a young, American woman named Maddie who is dragged to Scotland at the onset of WWII by her husband and his best friend. They hope to gain proof that the Lock Ness Monster exists so that they can redeem themselves to their parents and high society. I thought her characters were fun and, as a big Outlander fan, I enjoyed the setting in the Scottish Highlands. The story held my interest although several situations felt unreal to me and the characters were a bit exaggerated. Sorry--not much more to say here. Fun story. It was a quick read.
