Overseas by Beatriz Williams
Just finished Overseas by Beatriz Williams-a delicious escape read! I am going to call it a love story, because I don’t usually admit to reading the occasional romance, even when the library staff has read outside your favorite genre days.
Kate Wilson, young investment banker on Wall Street, is out to save the life of Julian Laurence, superstar hedgie. Its love at first sight (or is it second sight)? The too good to be true story alternates between WWI France and today’s USA (mostly NYC). As I started reading, I hoped there would be more modern-day story, but as I got to the end, I wanted the background from France. Either era could be a novel in itself, so you can imagine the bonus of both in one book.
Overseas is a little bit Working Girl (the 1980s movie), a little bit Discovery of Witches, a little bit Time Traveller’s Wife. Happy ending, a few twists and a little suspense along the way, and worth reading. Take it to the beach, take it on vacation, request it at the library tomorrow!
