Overseas

Overseas is a 2012 historical fiction novel by Beatriz Williams. Plot Reception Overseas was generally well received by critics, including a starred review from Publishers Weekly, who wrote, "At heart this is a delicious story about the ultimate romantic fantasy: love that not only triumphs over time and common sense, but, once Kate overcomes Julian’s WWI-era ideas about honor, includes mind-blowing sex." Kirkus Reviews called Overseas "an engaging romantic debut [that] cheerfully bends the rules to unite soul mates Kate and Julian, separated merely by an ocean, a world war and a century." They further noted that "Williams’ terrific premise proves impossible to sustain, but with her gift for humor, snappy dialogue and swooning romance, there's plenty to enjoy and the promise of more enjoyable escapism to come in future work."
