Description
Sarah Lee's debut historical novel, An Ocean Apart, tells the story of three young women from the Caribbean who travel to England in search of a new life. In 1954, Ruby Haynes spots an advertisement for young women to train as nurses for the National Health Service and sets off on a journey that will change her life forever. As they start their training, the sisters face many challenges, including racism and prejudice, which threaten to undermine their dreams of a better future. Despite these obstacles, they form strong bonds with their fellow nurses and find ways to support each other through difficult times. But for Connie, the decision to leave behind her daughter in search of a better life is a heavy burden to bear. Inspired by real-life stories of the Windrush Generation, Sarah Lee's novel offers a powerful exploration of identity, community, and resilience.
