I recently read three other books by Beatriz Williams; I started with 'The Secret Life of Violet Grant', then 'A Hundred Summers' followed by 'Tiny Little Thing' which I finished reading two weeks ago. 'Tiny Little Thing' is the lead-in story to 'Along the Infinite Sea' and I don't recommend reading them in the reverse order, it won't be nearly as satisfying if you do.There's a lot to like about 'Along the Infinite Sea' and I will say I found myself enjoying the conflicts and the characters Williams created. I loved that the story surrounding the Mercedes Benz was inspired by real a Mercedes left and rediscovered in a New England shed. There are two stories being revealed simultaneously, one in the 1930s in Europe and the other in the 1960s in America. I enjoyed both storylines but thought the depth and interest of the pre-war thread was more compelling.In 1966 Pepper Schuyler, Tiny Hardcastle's sister from the titular 'Tiny Little Thing', sold a rare Mercedes she helped restore. The buyer is an interesting and somewhat elusive older woman, Annabelle Dommerich, who lives in Florida. Annabelle invites Pepper to stay in Florida as her house guest then unexpectedly departs without telling her family where she's gone. Pepper is in a bit of a compromising situation and could benefit from being away from her life in Washington, D.C. where she works as an aide to a prominent New York politician.Annabelle's story is revealed to us in alternating chapters as she remembers her first love, her marriage and how she came to the United States before World War II. Her life is the highlight of the book and I loved her character; brave, conflicted and devoted.
