Interpretation During Books Seven Tears Into the Sea
Beckon the sea,I'll come to thee....
Shed seven tears,
perchance seven years....
At the age of ten, Gwen Cooke had a strange encounter with a boy with dark, slightly tilted eyes. He came to her on the beach, whispered strange words in her ear, and then disappeared. Shortly thereafter, her family moved away from their seaside home and Gwen never saw the boy again.
Now seventeen, Gwen is returning to her childhood home. Her nana asked her to come. But Gwen knows it's time to go back for another reason: She yearns for the sea. Perhaps the sea itself is calling to her. Perhaps the memory of the boy and his haunting words are drawing her back to the place they met. Perhaps it's time for her to face her destiny.

This was a ridiculous waste of time.The story made very little sense. The characters were as shallow and underdeveloped as the story itself. There were a lot of details that mattered very little if at all to the attempted story. It was boring and flat.Once again, an author had a good idea but brutally bludgeoned it to death with nonsense and a complete absence of a cohesive plot. Ugh!Seven Tears into the Sea ia a beautiful story and the writing is concise and clear but the story feels unfinished to me. SO many questions left unanswered that bothered me.The story is about Gwen, who at the age of ten, while sleep-walking on the beach almost drowns and is saved by a selkie or did she imagine it?The confusing thing about it is that sometimes the author refers to the person who saved her as a man and sometimes a boy so I was never sure. When she is seventeen, she returns to the
2.5. Can nobody write a good selkie book?! Started off strong - I loved the atmosphere and descriptions of Mirage Beach. The inn and grandmother character were charming. Protag was smart and a little bit weird. But...uh, it's a real shame when the selkie stuff in your selkie book is thoroughly underwhelming.The selkie himself only shows up about 50% of the way through. And to be clear, I didn't mind that. The setup did a good job of building tension. Honestly I almost started thinking there were
Seven Tears in the SeaWhen Gwen Cooke was ten, she was rescued from drowning by a strangely handsome young man, who whispered a rhyme into her ear, telling her to call for him with her tears in seven years time. The people in town believed shed been molested. Her parents soon moved her away to a larger city and she never visited, until now. Gwen is acutely aware that its been seven years, but shes headed back to the little town to help her grandmother (who was recently injured) with her bed and
Didn't like it. The age level was a little younger, even though the main character was seventeen for most of the book. I liked that it was about selkies--I've never read about them before this. The major thing I didn't like about it, is that it didn't really describe the rules of selkies very well. It was confusing. And it leaves a lot of things unaswered. And I hated the abrubt ending. It's a good read for people who like folklore things, like selkies. Not one I would read again.
Beckon the sea,I'll come to thee....Shed seven tears,perchance seven years....When Gwen Cooke was ten years old, she met a strange and beautiful boy on the beach who whispered eery words in her ears - and then disappeared into thin air. Soon after their encounter, Gwen and her family move away from their sleepy coastal home town.Now, at age seventeen, Gwen has returned, and things are just as strange as they were when she left seven years before. So I really liked this novel!I read a review of
Seven Tears into the Sea is a great story where the fiction is supported by a Celtic myth. I enjoyed the story and liked all of the characters immediately. The narrative by the main character was captivating, and I became interested in her story from the first chapter. This book would have earned five stars if it wasnt for its ending that left me with a few pertinent questions, which I wont post as they would be spoilers.Seven Tears into the Sea is about a young girl named Gwen who almost drowns
