THOUGHTS ON PORTSMOUTH

This historic book told of the danger and tough times of WWII. The ensuing romance was very fresh, warm and very natural in the turbulent times. I wanted to read the book continuously to see what would happen next. I would highly recommend this story and I hope to read his other novels soon. sb

Portsmouth by Ed Norvell

A terrific read for anyone interested in the Barrier Islands of NC and their amazing history plus a little bit of Nicholas Sparks-ish love story woven in to make all of us baby boomers recall what young love on the beach was like. The early years of WWII off the US coast have been kept secret from the average American until recently. This novel recounts the bravery and hardships endured by so many ordinary citizens caught up that period and also provides an accurate glimpse into the particular culture of the coastal fishing villages that struggled to survive the elements, the changing moires...and the Germans! Grab a chair, prop up your feet and turn off the phone for several enjoyable hours.
