The Fisherman’s Gift by Julia R. Kelly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think my expectations were too high on this one. I enjoyed the storyline, the history, the heartbreak and heartwarming aspects of this book. I felt that much of the book moved slowly, and I wish the pace picked up earlier. The book is written in the past and present, from multiple perspectives. I felt that this was done seamlessly, the story weaving smoothly between characters and timelines. The story takes place in a Scottish Village in the early 1900s. A schoolteacher comes to the Island where she struggles to be adjusted. She starts a brief love affair, her young son is lost to sea, and her story is anything but easy. When years later a young boy is rescued from the sea, Dorothy finds herself struggling to differentiate past and present. Secrets are uncovered and pain is uncovered. I thought that the development was well done and beautifully written. I just wanted a little more drama and oomph. Thank you netgalley for my advanced reader copy.
