The Woman who Walked into the Sea

I enjoyed The Woman who Walked into the Sea by Mark Douglas-Home which is set in a fictitious place in northern Scotland.  A young mother, Violet, was adopted and has always wanted to know about her birth parents.  She receives a letter which sheds some light on her mother's story.  Her name was Megan and Violet learns that she committed suicide by walking into the sea the day Violet was born.  Violet visits the village where she was born to find out what she can about her mother and the reason she abandoned Violet.  An oceanographer, Cal, who studies tides and currents is visiting the area and he meets Violet.  There is a lot of "undercurrents" in the community with some people not wanting this mystery to be solved.  4/5
