Tastes great; less filling. The alternating and parallel stories of two women in Brighton, England, one living just before WWII, the other in the present day. There's some magical realism, some gaslighting, and light romance. I thought a couple of plot points didn't quite work, but an oddity of whatever genre this is was that it really didn't matter. Fwiw I found the historical plot line much more interesting. Good enough that I finished it.
