When in 1940 German bombs start falling on London, Millie and Reginald Thompson make a difficult decision: they send their eleven-year-old daughter Beatrice across the ocean to safe America. There, she is to live with another family until the war ends. Scared, angry at her parents, lonely, and lost, Bea arrives in a country so different from the grim wartime London. Mr. and Mrs. G, as well as their sons William and Gerald, warmly welcome the English girl, and soon she becomes part of this new world, a member of a happy family. Time goes by, the war does not subside, and Bea feels that there is nothing more natural than a quiet, peaceful life here, in a large and cozy house, and the fun-filled summer months on a tiny island.
Gloomy London, her perpetually tired parents start to seem distant to her, but still, Bea does not want to forget her childhood, her roots. And she returns home, however, the memory of her American family forever in Bea's heart, and it is these memories that guide her through life. 'And Beyond the Sea' is a novel full of sun and fog, sharp happiness and excruciating pain, forgiveness and understanding, loss and love.
