Love and Salt Water | Ethel Wilson

1 post | 1 read

Ellen Guppy is the reluctant heroine of Ethel Wilson’s final novel, Love and Salt Water. Saddened by a painful childhood, Ellen has adopted a skeptical independence and learned too well to hold her heart in reserve. But, as the novel unfolds, Ellen undergoes something of a sea-change; learning to accept love along with the sorrow that is rarely far from love. First published in 1956, Love and Salt Water is a mature and, at times, disturbing synthesis of Ethel Wilson’s major themes: the independence of human lives, the strange alchemy of chance, and the healing illumination of love. From the Paperback edition.

Love and Salt Water | Ethel Wilson

so-so

This slight book almost like being in a conversation with someone who is recounting their life story, where they glaze over parts and remember others with great detail. I did really like the setting of the book as I grew up in British Columbia, and the places seem familiar. The use of plot devices was a bit clunky.
