Robert Kahn with NBC called the piece "a dignified, often funny new musical" which "find[s] a spiritual angle to a horrific story, depicting the goodness in humanity while still allowing us room for the feelings of loneliness and fear that will always be connected to that time." [81] I was thrilled when she asked if I would be interested in reading her latest novel, COME FROM AWAY, and I didn’t even hesitate….absolutely! Rather than based on one story, Come From Away is an amalgamation of hundreds of real life stories. In 2011, writers Irene Sankoff and David Hein travelled to the Newfoundland town to learn more about what happened during these fateful days.

COME FROM AWAY by GENEVIEVE GRAHAM was an emotional, heart-warming and interesting Canadian Historical Romance novel that I found quite the fascinating read. The story captured the setting, time period, heartbreak and the difficulties surrounding the war perfectly and with the romance that develops we see a different side to the enemy. Sunlight sparkled off the water like diamonds, and a fishing boat drifted by. Grace had seen all kinds of boats in her twenty-one years living on Bakers Point. She’d watched the small in-shore fishing boats leave before sunrise and return in the dark of night, and she’d been aboard dories, schooners, rowboats, and canoes. Most were simple crafts past their primes, badly in need of paint and patching, but others were more impressive. These days all of them were overshadowed by the distant silhouettes of destroyers patrolling the shoreline. Those were quite a sight, and one Grace could not bear to watch.

At a performance of Come from Away at Teatro Maipo, Buenos Aires, September 2023 Critical reception [ edit ] Seattle [ edit ] Come From Away is a standalone story, but it is closely-connected to Tides of Honour that tells the story of the previous generation of Bakers. I was ecstatic to see what came of Danny, Audrey, their three orphan boys and new baby. Grace was that baby and now it is her story and her brothers.Their situation felt authentic as did the character’s actions even as I struggled with Grace’s flip-flopping opinion regarding Rudy. It was interesting seeing different reactions from compassion to blinding hatred. World War II has hit the banks of Grace Baker’s small coastal town. Her three beloved brothers, have all entered the war against Germany. Grace has stayed behind to tend the local merchant shop she runs and assist her parents. A dance offers a reprieve from thoughts of the war and it is where Grace meets a handsome young man named Rudy.
