About this item
In Beyond Summerland, Jenny Lecoat crafts a mesmerizing tale set against the backdrop of post-World War II Jersey, a community grappling with the aftermath of German occupation and the scars it has left behind. Praised by New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry for its rich storytelling and profound narrative, Lecoat's novel delves into themes of secrets, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships in a time of profound upheaval.
The liberation of the Channel Islands from German control marks a new beginning for nineteen-year-old Jean Parris and her community. However, the joy of freedom is marred by simmering tensions and a desire for justice among locals seeking retribution against suspected collaborators. When Jean discovers unsettling rumors suggesting Hazel, a teacher living above her father's shop, may have played a role in her father's wartime arrest, she is torn between loyalty to her family and the pursuit of truth.
As Jean delves deeper into Hazel's past, uncovering layers of deception and hidden motives, she forms an unexpected bond with the accused woman. Together, they navigate the treacherous landscape of guilt and innocence, confronting their own secrets and vulnerabilities along the way. Their alliance challenges the rigid boundaries of post-war society and forces Jean to confront her own beliefs about justice and forgiveness.
Lecoat masterfully intertwines historical detail with a gripping narrative, painting a vivid portrait of a community grappling with war's aftermath. Through Jean and Hazel's journey, she explores themes of resilience, betrayal, and the transformative power of empathy, offering readers a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of moral ambiguity and the enduring quest for truth. 📚❤️
