At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen
368 Pages
Set in 1944, this is a story about a woman, Maddie, Hyde, who travels with her husband Ellis to investigate the Loch Ness Monster when family struggles in Philadelphia make the couple outcasts. It becomes a journey of self-discovery as she begins to examine her life and her marriage while interaction with the local populace in Scotland.
If you are a fan of Water for Elephants this book will probably not measure up, even though it is a good story with some interesting characters. My problem was that some of the characters were one-dimensional or unrealistic.
