About At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen
After a social scandal in Philadelphia on New Year’s Eve 1942, Maddie and Ellis Hyde lose the financial support of Ellis’s father, a former army colonel. Ellis, unable to serve in the Second World War because he is colorblind, sets out to restore his father’s standing by attempting a venture the colonel once failed at: finding the Loch Ness monster.
With their friend Hank, the couple travels to wartime Scotland. As Ellis and Hank search for the monster, Maddie faces life in a foreign country and begins to reconsider who she is and what she wants. Sara Gruen’s historical novel brings together a Nessie hunt, the upheaval of World War II, and Maddie’s growing awareness of nature, friendship, and love. It may appeal to readers of historical fiction, wartime novels, and book-club fiction.
