I very much enjoyed To Be Sung Underwater by Tom McNeal which is mainly set in Nebraska and California, USA. It is a love story which takes a while to appreciate and understand who the people are that have loved. Judith a middle-aged film editor in California seems restless with her life and has vague suspicions about her husband, Malcolm's conduct. She begins to hark back to her teenage years living with her father in Nebraska and the people she knew there, one in particular, Willy Blunt. The second part of the book takes the reader back to her romance with Willy Blunt and the reader learns about Judith's life at that time. Then we return to the present when Judith learns what happened to her former friends. She then makes a decision which will have ramifications for all. This story is well-constructed with some beautiful writing. Highly recommended. 5/5Saturday, July 26, 2014
