All the Seas of God

Description

Strap yourself in for a whirlwind, year-long, three continent wild ride of dangerous living in a love story to cherish and remember! Sam and Addie, childhood best friends for a summer and lovers of adventure stories, meet accidentally on purpose as adults in the last year of World War One. A roller coaster romance leads to a dream of married bliss in Sam’s native India. But the dream is throttled at every turn. Separate rescues from their torpedoed ship land them in different countries, with neither knowing if the other has survived. And an overheard conversation brings danger on the high seas and puts them on the run in Calcutta, the Himalayan foothills, and Bengal’s predator-filled Sundarbans. The war ends. A global pandemic subsides. But Sam and Addie’s vision of a peaceful life remains as elusive as ever.
