The Shore: a group of small islands in the Chespeake Bay, just off the coast of Virginia. Many generations of families live and have lived on these remote islands. There are the wealthy and the destitute.
We are introduced to many of those families and taken through many generations at the same time.
This was well written and although I found it a little confusing, the stories of these people was fascinating anyway.

The Shore, the debut novel by Sara Taylor, is a series of interconnected stories from the 1800s all the way to the year 2143 all set on the "shore", a group of islands off Virginia's coast. The stories center on women and girls and often involve violence (rape, abuse, domestic violence, murder). This was just not the book for me.

Interesting; however, I got rather confused as the chapters changed points in time throughout the book (there is a family tree in the beginning, but this was a Kindle book, therefore, hard to read it). Haven't really figured out the inter-relationships of some of the characters due to the skipping around. I enjoyed the majority of the story - the futuristic chapters not so much.
