Millions of readers have fallen under the spell of the lush, enthralling and bestselling novels by Celeste De Blasis. Tales of adventure and romance set against the sweep of history—all are storytelling at its finest. After graduating from Pomona College, Celeste devoted her life to impeccable research and spellbinding writing. A native Californian, Celeste grew up on the historic Kemper Campbell Ranch in the Mojave Desert, where she lived until her death in 2001
This was Celeste's 2nd book and was written shortly after her brother, David's, death. Her parents had sent her on a tennis cruise to help her grieve and while doing this activity, which was pretty much out of her element, she met "people who just had to be characters in a book". She adapted Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and thus "Suffer A Sea Change" was born. She hadn't yet discovered her real love - historical fiction. Soon she was to try her had at that genre, with which she fell in love.
Enjoy Suffer A Sea Change for what it is and then keep reading her work.
An epic sweeping story that covers many years but also makes the story feel close and intimate without feeling small. I highly recommend pretty much everything this author writes because she has a wonderful style.
Loved it...great mystery and romance. I think this was the only contemporary romance Celeste wrote, but I really enjoyed it. Now, I'll have to get it out and re-read it!
