What is it about this old house that affects people so deeply?
Nothing much happens in the small Australian town of Sunset Point, which is just the way the locals like it. So when an outsider with grand plans threatens to demolish an iconic local landmark to build a huge resort the battle lines are drawn. Young journalist Jessica hopes to make it big with her coverage of the court case, but first she must appease her editor and put a human interest spin on the situation.
At first glance the five people she chooses to background have little in common - but it soon becomes clear that staying at The Beach House has changed all of them in some way.
In telling the stories of Kate, Simone, Tom, Clare and Jack, Jessica too learns some important life lessons.
"....it shows how connected we all are..."
"...a gentle, feel good kind of story I enjoyed very much...."
"..The Beach House brings to life a small, coastal town with a big heart...."
The Beach House eBook Helen McKenna
This lovely novel recounts the experiences of several different individuals who vacation in an Australian beach house, at different times over several years. They are connected by the house and by a couple of local characters; they come together in the end to save the house. Their stories are diverse and interesting. Helen McKenna has created an immensely readable novel, with impeccable attention to detail. One off-putting thing, though: she apparently has an aversion to commas. The grammar nerd in me had a hard time getting used to the lack of punctuation but once I learned to overlook that, the story held my interest quite securely.Product details

The Beach House eBook Helen McKenna Reviews
Very enjoyable read. Easy . You want to know what happens to all the characters. It draws you in. Easy to pick up and put down, and all ties up nicely at the end.
Love the story line being a mixture of different experiences. Really good read and enjoyed it.
Excellent writing.
An excellent book, real characters, very believable. Very well written. Extra long length, great value. Great concept, all the different people that come to stay at the beach house, keeps it very interesting. I really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed this book. I thought the characters were realistically portrayed and their problems contemporary. A story that provides diversion from the everyday and relaxation on a weekend or holiday.
Enjoyable. More a series of connected shorts in a framework but I mostly liked them. Quick light reading. . .
There is an historic beach house on a prime piece of real estate in a small Queensland town.
Developers are circling – they want the land for a resort. The townspeople don’t want them to have it.
A young journalist is given the story to write from a human interest angle. She interviews a number of people who have been guests of the beach house. We are told their stories, and each one is complete in its own right. There are climaxes and resolutions.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was well written and Ms McKenna has an excellent command of language. The characters are well developed and the reader gets to know each one intimately. One of the stories, Clare 2000, touched me deeply.
The Epilogue, which contains the overall resolution, is satisfying.
I highly recommend The Beach House and have rated it 5 stars.
