I have been able to enjoy several of author Beatriz Williams‘ works over the past few years, including the first book in this series, The Secret Life of Violet Grant. I love her story telling ability and have enjoyed each of her books so I was excited to be able to read and review this new release, the third in the Schuyler Sisters series.

An epic story of star-crossed lovers in pre-war Europe collides with a woman on the run in the swinging ’60s, in another riveting novel of the Schuyler sisters from the New York Times bestselling author of Tiny Little Thing.
In the autumn of 1966, Pepper Schuyler’s problems are in a class of their own. To find a way to take care of herself and the baby she carries—the result of an affair with a married, legendary politician—she fixes up a beautiful and rare vintage Mercedes and sells it at auction.
But the car’s new owner, the glamorous Annabelle Dommerich, has her own secrets: a Nazi husband, a Jewish lover, a flight from Europe, and a love so profound it transcends decades. As the many threads of Annabelle’s life before the Second World War stretch out to entangle Pepper in 1960s America, and the father of her unborn baby tracks her down to a remote town in coastal Georgia, the two women must come together to face down the shadows of their complicated pasts.

ALONG THE INFINITE SEA by Beatriz Williams
This author has a gift for weaving a story through the ages. This story ties two women together from the time of WWII to the mid 1960’s. The flavor of the era exudes through the pages and gives you insight to a complicated love affair and the connection to the decisions of a young woman on the run.
Beatriz Williams knows how to write about the deep heart aching love that transcends time. With amazing details of the history along with the depth of motion between two people, you are taken away to another era where you fall into the story.
Pages flew as I read about these two women and how they are tied together. Pepper has a wisecracking tongue and Annabelle is a naive soul and sometimes I had to wonder where the story was going. But in typical fashion for her, the author tied it up in a loose bow and brought us to a conclusion that left a few strings hanging and a few doors open.
This interesting book was a pleasurable read that leaves you wondering if there will be yet another installment in the future. The author is the queen of historical storytelling and always leaves you wanting more.
