The Sea Gate

Product Information

I did wonder why she was allowed to stay in a big house, all alone with a refugee kid, during the war, and not one person in the community suggested she was too young (she was in her teens). The excellent description of the Cornwall house and its surroundings sets the stage for a very enjoyable book.

Deeply atmospheric and reflective of the rich location in which it is set, The Sea Gate offers a wonderful tribute to Cornwall.

A private, gated community adjoining Brooklyn’s bustling Coney Island boardwalk, Sea Gate was a summer retreat for families like the Morgans, Dodges and Vanderbuilts. Mermista and Sea Hawk trade jabs over him getting her kicked out of the Dolphin Social for challenging a doorman to a duel and the time he set their gondola alight in the Tunnel of Love, presumably on a date gone horribly wrong. I have begun to enjoy books with that gothic feel, especially when the houses/buildings become characters themselves.Residents refer to Sea Gate as "the gate" and venturing into adjoining Coney Island as going "out the gate". Glimmer volunteers herself, Bow and Adora to go to the kingdom of Salineas to recruit Mermista in the Princess Alliance. If you require the use of the handicap door, for disability, stroller or bike, you will need to present your valid Sea Gate Pedestrian Access Key to the Officer on duty and they will open the door for you. Finding letters from cousin Olivia addressed to her mother pleading for help had Rebecca on her way to Olivia’s house. That book’s setting (Granada) was a little different from the Cornwall of The Sea Gate but the two novels share similarities.

Becky is tidying her late mother’s affairs when she comes across a letter from Cornwall which her mother had not attended to prior to her death.

While she is sorting through things in her mother house she finds letters in the pile of mail from her mother’s cousin Olivia asking for help. I particularly loved the bond between Becky and Olivia, two outcasts who find strength and family in each other. And for a bit of humor, we are entertained by Olivia’s parrot Gabriel who she rescued in 1943 and survives to the present day, making obscene comments throughout the decades. A broken family, a house of secrets—an entrancing tale of love and courage set during the Second World War.
