No Ocean Too Wide

Having read numerous other books by author Carrie Turansky, I was excited to obtain a copy of her newest release No Ocean Too Wide!

Like many books of this genre and by Turansky, the story line involves a lower class serving girl and an upper class male. However, there are several twists and turns in this book that moves it beyond the typical. No Ocean Too Wide focuses on three siblings who are removed from their family and placed in a children's home. Through several misfortunes, the siblings are sent to Canada to be placed with families. Their older sister leaves her job to help find them. To learn more about what happens to the delightful Mcallister family, you need to read the book yourself but I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I'm particularly excited that this is the first of three is a new series titled Mcallister Family. I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for the next releases!

Although set a century ago and involving children sent from Great Britain to Canada, while reading this book the reader will inevitably draw parallels to events and issues that occur today such as human trafficking, global orphan care, immigration issues, etc. Book clubs may find this an enjoyable book to discuss that will provide a natural segue to contemporary issues as well.
