Ashes on the Waves – Mary Lindsey

Ashes on the Waves is a beautiful and haunting retelling of one of my favorite Poe poems, «Annabel Lee». The author did an amazing job translating the darkness and strength of the narrator’s love for Annabel Lee into a gripping novel. Although the ending left me feeling a bit cheated, every page leading up to that point was pure enjoyment. A very enjoyable, if heartbreaking novel, Ashes on the Waves was nothing like I’d expected, but everything I had hoped it could be.
