Delightful Novel, Jun 19 2006
By JKK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sea Changes (Paperback)
Being from the Great NW city of Seattle, it is delightful to read about places you know. I always looked forward to reading the latest chapter from Bill Branley's fictional blog "Peggy Finds a Friend". As the serialized novel was very near its conclusion............oh no! I do not want it to end.A delightful read and great book club selection!

Sea Changes: A Novel is a midlife romance between a conservative man and a woman who identifies with defending the environment and other activist pursuits. They clash over political issues from Hurricane Katrina to homeland security to global warming. Yet despite their differences and the emotional pain of losses in the past, they seek happiness together in the latter stage of their lives. A heartwarming story of finding balance and compromise.

Romance with some substance - an entertaining read, Sep 29 2006
By booklover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sea Changes (Paperback)
Personal experiences of the author and his mother (who lived in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina), and his travels help create realistic settings for the places the main characters, Peggy and Raoul, visit on the East and West Coast. Branley successfully puts into words the emotional pain of losing a loved one, especially a life-long spouse. While reading the story you will find yourself pondering, what would my life be like in a similar situation.The characters in Sea Changes, loosely based on people he observed on his daily early morning ferry commute, are likeable and well-developed. The dialogue among the small group of passengers who ultimately become friends is the backbone of the story. Their conversation is realistic and lacks dependence on clichés.
Branley's sub-themes in the novel, through these conversations, the oppositional careers of the soon-to-be lovers and their adventures while dating, focus on current issues like homeland security, global warming, and how the effect of a lack of investment in community infrastructures hurts the environment. He easily makes his point about these issues without being preachy.
Sea Changes is about love, loss, grief, hardship, and ultimately moving forward in spite of an innate tendency to resist change. This debut novel is inspiring and entertaining and won't disappoint a reader looking for romance.
