Publisher's Description
In spring 1918, Lieutenant Colin Mabry, a British soldier working with MI8 after suffering injuries on the front, receives a message by carrier pigeon. It is from Jewel Reyer, the woman he once loved and who saved his life--a woman he believed to be dead. Traveling to France to answer her urgent summons, he desperately hopes this mission will ease his guilt and restore the courage he lost on the battlefield. Colin is stunned, however, to discover the message came from Jewel's half sister, Johanna. Johanna, who works at a dovecote for French Army Intelligence, found Jewel's diary and believes her sister is alive in the custody of a German agent. With spies everywhere, Colin is skeptical of Johanna, but as they travel across France and Spain, a tentative trust begins to grow between them. When their pursuit leads them straight into the midst of a treacherous plot, danger and deception turn their search for answers into a battle for their lives.

“Not everyone can write a good war story. Still fewer can bring love, faith, and romance into the mix and make it work. Kate Breslin can do all this with strength and style. She is a remarkable writer, and this book is a remarkable story.”
“Kate Breslin continues her tradition of writing sweeping historical romances that pair the adventurous spirit of Kate Quinn with the historical detail of Susan Meissner and Hazel Gaynor. A universe in itself, Far Side of the Sea sweeps the reader to dashing European locales seen through the eyes of two unforgettable characters whose greatest daring lies in finding restoration and wholeness against the broken backdrop of a world at war. The thinking person’s adventure story—Breslin evokes classic literary tropes to create a robust and beautifully written yarn capturing the heart while engaging the mind.”
“Once again Kate Breslin has crafted a story with grappling hooks—it’ll catch you from page one and reel you in! With spies, romance, and characters with mountains to overcome, Far Side of the Sea is a complex and riveting tale that you won’t be able to set aside. Bravo!”
“With writing rich in historical detail, Kate Breslin weaves a tale of intrigue, suspense, and romance against the turbulent backdrop of WWI. From the shores of England to Paris and Barcelona, this action-filled story will delight history buffs and romance lovers alike.”
