Secrets of the Sea House | Elisabeth Gifford

Well written atmospheric novel in the setting of Hebrides Islands, Scotland, and it's a dual timeline story narrating between 1860s and 1992. Main plot is about how Ruth and Michael purchased a sea house and they discovered a baby coffin with fused legs underneath the floorboards. It's an ok read for me because the story was slow and dull at times, and the connection between the two timeline was lacking.

This book was promising and engaging in the beginning (that was why I recommended it - my apologies). It's about a sister who became a war nurse to look for her MIA soldier brother in Italy during the WWII. Halfway into the book, the main plot shifted focus and it became draggy, boring, and awfully slow pace. Personally, it was a disappointing read.
