Judith E | 3 comments Do not see any comments on Across So Many Seas. It is really a YA novel and I read through it very quickly. Author gave some great background at the back. I would like to know how male readers reacted to it, since all the protagonists are female. Like some of the threads that ran throughout this multi-generational novel. Would loved to have seen a map. Please excuse typos.

Julie  Ditton (storybooklady) | 13 comments I loved this book. I found it moving and very interesting. A lot of middle grade books would entertain most adults. You read My Review here,

Hi, Julie. Your link didn't work for some reason but I went to your profile and found the review from there. Thanks for mentioning here. And thanks for commenting on the discussion for the April poll winner -- it's been very rare that anyone does that!
