Product Information

Meyer, Dan (January 10, 2020). "West End's Come From Away Will Welcome Alice Fearn and More". Playbill.com. In Come From Away we return to the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, what Audrey and Danny are faced with is perhaps the greatest challenge as their three grown sons, Norman, Eugene, and Harry are among the thousands of Canadian men that donned the uniform to fight in WWII. They must help their daughter, Grace, who desires to make as meaningful an effort as that of her brothers. I so loved Danny's relationship with his daughter. It certainly reminded me of my own Dad. Like Grace, I am a sister to a brother and the thought of him or my two nephews going off to war. Well, I just couldn't bear that! Come From Away': Theater Review". The Hollywood Reporter.

Alrighty, this book will not be published until April 24th, but when I get my hands on a Genevieve Graham book, NOTHING is going to stop me from jumping right in, including all of the other ARCs I have to read that are being published before this one.

By the time we landed, I was 82% completed and I practically leapt from the plane to my next gate so that I could get it finished.

Could this have really happened? I like to think so. Come From Away is a lovely story. If you enjoy historical fiction with a strong helping of romance, you're going to want to read Genevieve Graham. If you were in Grace’s place, would you have turned Rudi in to the police? Would you have hidden him? Or would you have done something else entirely? She’d never promised Norman she’d stop crying. Couldn’t have promised that in a million years. But she’d smiled through the agony as she’d waved farewell to him and the others. She’d smiled for the children and their parents when they were weak. But when she was alone—which felt like most of the time—she let the tears come.This book is a little different than the first book that I read but her, as it’s set during WWII rather than WWI as the first one I read. However, her ability to write confidently in both periods is astonishing. She adds so much historical detail to her books. She captures the little nuances of the period and I think it brings a lot to the story. I said this about TIDES OF HONOUR and I think it still applies in this book….the uniqueness of having the story set in Canada was brilliant. There are so many war time romances set in England or France but not in Canada. I personally would not think Canada for a war romance and frankly I was curious how that would play out in the story but I was impressed and interested in that angle of the story. The same is still true in this book…..Canada isn’t quite to go to setting for war romances but once again she pulls it off. It was announced on January 20, 2021, that the previously scheduled concert version of the musical has been cancelled.

I'm not going to lie, I had to do some serious moral gymnastics to get through a lot of this book. To say I shared a lot of the same feelings as the main character Grace, would be an understatement.

Having made its mark on Broadway, the London production of Come From Away has had audiences wanting to "kiss the fish" in Gander. David Gerson with DC Metro Theatre Arts called the show "one of the most refreshing pieces of art that I have seen in years. The folk and country influenced pop score is tuneful and the cast sings the hell out of it." [67] Peter Marks, in his review in The Washington Post, noted that the musical "stirs powerful memories of 9/11 ... if the book's mechanics unfold with too much sugar, the score has an infectious, gritty vitality: Especially good is a number set in a Gander pub, choreographed by Kelly Devine, during which a risibly nutty local initiation rite is performed, involving the embrace of a recently caught codfish."
