Explanation Conducive To Books Searching for Amber

When Jade, a passionate young photographer, is attacked by drug pushers and saved by the brooding shipwright Martin, she becomes increasingly obsessed with her reluctant hero’s tragic back-story. Her pursuit of Martin’s affection and her consequent obsessive search for Martin’s lost sister, Amber, ultimately leads Jade to discover the truth about her own mother, who abandoned her as a baby in the late 1950s, and the tragic events that led to her disappearance.

The inner lives of the main characters, their friends and the forces of sea and storm that confound them, unfold and intertwine over three distinct time periods; 1950s Aldeburgh, late 1970/80s Suffolk, and 1990s London and Essex, where they eventually reunite.

Searching for Amber is an engaging exploration of love, violence, betrayal and loss, told through beautiful writing, natural imagery and poetry. It is a story that takes into its sweep the breathtaking seascapes of Britten’s Suffolk, the rural idyll of Coggeshall and its Martyrs, and the brash vibrancy of Thatcher’s London. In creating this lyrical tale, David Smith has been inspired by Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes, Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock and Shakespeare’s The Tempest, as well as his memories of romantic weekends spent in Aldeburgh with his wife.

This book will appeal to romantics with a love of the sea, and those with an interest in history, art and music.

Critique Based On Books Searching for Amber

A beautifully written tale of interwoven lives searching for family. The story spans a number of decades, but I never felt lost when reading it. The plot was well thought out, and I was gripped to find out the truth about Amber. However, the real star of the book is the sea itself. David Smith creates wonderful imagery of the coast and its powerful effect on those who live by it. I was fortunate enough to win a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaway, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I received this book through Goodreads First Reads. It is exquisitely written, beautifully descriptive and quite dreamy in the images it provokes. I admit it's not my usual style of book and took me a couple of chapters to get into the style of writing. But all in all worth reading. I give it a generous 4 out of 5 due to its beautifully descriptive finer details that many books lack.

This is a wonderfully crafted piece of literary fiction. Intense, confusing and sensual, it is simply an impressive novel. The description is beautifully crafted and never loses momentum; high quality writing remains throughout. I loved the plot (and personally, I thought it got better as the novel went on), and found it original and captivating. I never give away spoilers in reviews, but Smith absolutely deserves the great critical acclaim he is receiving, and the many positive reviews. I would

The first chapter had me hooked, the story is beautifully described and I found myself thoroughly absorbed into the storyline. I choose this as my weekly commute read and it proved a great choice. I may just be a reader but from I do read extensively and I think Searching For Amber is an excellent debut novel.

I received a copy of this book through Goodreads, and I'm so pleased I did. It was a fabulous read and had me totally engrossed. Beautifully written and evocative.....(I did shed a few tears reading it!)



Great story kept me engrossed to the end would really reccomend to anyone who truly loves to sit with a cuppa and a book for a enjoyable evening
