Come Back to Me by Daniela Sacerdoti #Review

Books, Life and Everything is showcasing a rather special book today. Come Back to Me by Daniela Sacerdoti is packed with atmosphere. 


This third enchanting novel set on the windswept Seal Island is about finding love for a second time when hope seems lost.

Three separate lives. Three broken hearts.

Haunted by his wife's death, Matt arrives on Seal Island determined to be alone and unable to escape his grief. 

In the island's hospital, a young woman named Rose lies in a coma, trapped by the memories of events leading up to her accident. 

Grace, the island's doctor, is at the heart of the community. Only she knows how much she regrets turning down the chance of love and a family years ago.

For these three people hope seems gone. 

But life is about to offer an unexpected new beginning... 

My Thoughts

This is an atmospheric read which skilfully weaves together the stories of three very different people and which manages to move back and forth through the years seamlessly. The fictional island is ever present and emphasises how remote their lives there are. Seal Island is a place to retreat to, with a calmness which seems to nurture those who live there.

    There are moments which have an other worldly aura and which have a mystical, ghostly feel. The story is told at times through some haunting and atmospheric language and the general tone of the writing is sad and regretful. It is emotional and certainly keeps you turning the pages to the end. Above all, it is an enjoyable read which I was fully involved in. 

In short: A mysterious and atmospheric read.
