Sinossi
Febbraio, 1946. La Seconda guerra mondiale è finita, ma il ricordo dei suoi orrori è ancora impresso nella mente di Annaliese Lange, una ballerina tedesca che cerca disperatamente di fuggire da un passato di dolore, e di Simone Devereux, figlia di una spia al soldo della Resistenza francese.
Sognando un futuro migliore, le due donne si uniscono a centinaia di altre spose di guerra europee sulla Queen Mary, per attraversare l’Atlantico e ricongiungersi con i loro mariti americani a New York. La nuova vita negli Stati Uniti si preannuncia luminosa, a patto, però, che i loro segreti, sino ad allora custoditi gelosamente, non vengano scoperti. Perché altrimenti quella traversata, così carica di sogni e di speranze, potrebbe trasformarsi nel peggiore degli incubi…
America, oggi. Alle prese con una difficile scelta da compiere, Brette Caslake visita su richiesta di un vecchio amico la nave museo Queen Mary, il transatlantico che da decenni si pensa sia infestato da misteriose presenze. Ciò che scoprirà sulla nave la porterà a risolvere il tragico mistero di una sposa di guerra, risalente a settant’anni prima. E grazie a questa esperienza capirà cosa vale la pena sacrificare per realizzare i propri desideri…

Recensioni
Books like this one are why I never read the description of books when I pick them up because I was so pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. Brette can talk to 'drifters', people who have failed to pass over after dying and when she goes to visit the Queen Mary she encounters one w Leggi tutto

This book was a complete surprise to me in many ways. When I entered the giveaway, the description of this book did not mention a character that c Leggi tutto
Three women, three stories, three connected lives. Annaliese, Brette, and Simone were connected by WWII and ghosts. A BRIDGE ACROSS THE OCEAN takes us from WWII to present day with three intriguing stories. Annaliese was a German girl, Brett was a present-day American who had inherited an unusual gi Leggi tutto
4.5 Stars → Wonderful book! A BRIDGE ACROSS THE OCEAN is a lovely blending of ghost story, historical fiction, mystery, and women’s fiction. The story is told from differing points of view in multiple time periods, mainly during WWII, just after WWII ends, and also present day. It may feel a bit dis Leggi tutto

A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan Meissner takes us from WWII to present day with three intriguing stories. Having the RMS Queen Mary as part of this story added an interesting twist. Having grown up in Southern California, I got to tour her in my early 20’s. The majestic ship, has served many purp Leggi tutto
I really like susan Meissner books and i did not like this story as much.. That being said in my opinion it would have been better without the whole ghost story part of it. To me it just distracted from the good story line. I still like her writing this was just not one of my favorites .
