All the Salt in the Sea

By: Tammy L. Harrow

Narrated by: Katherine Bourne Taylor

In her first year of medical school, Abby West’s goals for the future were derailed by an unexpected pregnancy. Reluctantly, she discarded her dream of becoming a physician in favor of being a wife to one.

Nineteen years later, Abby discovers her powerful, well-connected husband has been keeping a secret—an eight-year-old son from an old affair. Devastated by the betrayal, she flees to her grandmother’s hometown on the Amalfi coast.

There, Abby meets Daniel Quinn, a former American soldier turned photographer. As she travels across Europe with him, she begins to imagine a new life, one without a controlling and unfaithful husband.

Empowered by a newfound sense of freedom and courage, Abby returns to St. Augustine to settle things with her husband. But nothing goes as planned, and what awaits may very well destroy her.

Long and winding road

The beginning of this book definitely hooked me. With each chapter, I grew frustrated with the protagonist and her lack of insight and inability to act or make a decision. The storyline became protracted and, honestly, I made myself finish it just to see how the writer wrapped everything up at the end. Some parts were too long and other parts were glossed over briefly. Overall, it’s a good story, but it took too long to unfold and the main character frustrated me.
