Blythe Stowe, who is fleeing a Hollywood scandal, rents a cottage in remote Cornwall, the home of her ancestors, and after reading a geneology chart, is transported to the past, where the trials and conflicts of her family during that era help reconcile her to the present.

All the romance of the beautiful Cornish coast and a wealth of local color add richness to a story that crosses the centuries. When a Hollywood scandal leaves her life and her marriage in ruins, Blythe Stowe escapes to the wild coast of Cornwall and a cottage by the sea. There she finds herself both physically drawn to her handsome neighbor, Lucas Teague, and literally drawn into a haunting 200-yearold love story as an elaborate family tree on his study wall sends her rushing back into the past. As Blythe struggles to make sense of what is happening and discovers family secrets that have been long concealed, she realizes Lucas holds the key to both her past and her futureA. |

| An excellent read! I felt as if I were living and breathing the life in beautiful Cornwall. Ciji Ware is a great writer! | | | | I LOVED IT! Aug 17, 2004 |
Another great novel I recommend is a book written by Susanna Kearsley called "Marianna". Another fabulous read that you don't want to put down, nor wish for the story to end! Enjoy!

I did not like this book at all. It seems to be typical of a particular genre where all the characters are rich and famous and wear only the best labeled clothing. The women are all glamourous, the men, model handsome.
This book caught my attention because its setting was the Cornwall of Daphne Du Maurier and supposedly its premise was similar to that of Du Maurier's great romantic classics. This could not be further from the truth. The characters in "A Cottage by the Sea" are utterly vacuous parodies; the time travel sequence is ridiculously unbelievable.
Instead of wasting your time and money on this book, pick up copies of "Rebecca", "Frenchman's Creek", "Jamaica Inn" and the "Scapegoat"; even if you've already read them, you will get more out of a repeat read than a first go at this. If you love time travel, try the Gabaldon Outlander series; although there are some improbable situations in these stories, at least they are entertaining as well as well-written with real characters who laugh, cry and speak as we do. | | | | Outstanding historical novel--lots of romance and suspense!

| A Cottage by the Sea is a fun, page-turning read. The feisty heroine charms, while drawing the reader further into the story. Her interactions with the past help to shape her plans for the present and future--a literary device Ciji Ware knows how to use to the fullest. There's a wealth of local color also, especially for gardeners and lovers of Daphne duMaurier. It's diverting and entertaining enough for an airplane ride or lounging on the beach, but intelligent enough to hold the interest. | | | Write your own review about A Cottage by the Sea
