When German bombs begin to fall on London in 1940, Millie and Reginald Thompson take a difficult step: they send their eleven-year-old daughter Beatrice across the ocean to a safe America. There she is to live with a strange family until the war is over. Frightened, angry at her parents, lonely and lost, Bea arrives in a country so different from grim wartime London. Mr. and Mrs. G and their sons William and Gerald welcome the Englishwoman, and soon she becomes her own in this new world, part of a happy family. Time passes, the war will not subside, and Bea already seems that there is nothing more natural than a quiet, peaceful life here, in a large and cozy house, and full of fun summer months on a tiny island. Dusky London, eternally tired parents begin to seem something distant to her, but still Bea does not want to forget her childhood, her roots. And she returns home, but the memory of her American family is forever in Bea's heart, and it is these memories that guide her through life. "And then - the sea" - a novel full of sunshine and fog, acute happiness and lingering pain, forgiveness and understanding, loss and love.
