This is my first Jane Corey novel - it’s listed as a psychological thriller, which is why I originally noticed it, but I don’t know if I’d say that was the best description. In my opinion, it’s a work of fiction/drama

Coming to find you threads together two very loosely related stories; one set in World War 2 and told by a woman, Elizabeth and one set in present day, told by Nancy. If I’m being honest, I don’t believe the story needed to be written this way - the stories connect only in circumstantial details and both feel like they may have been better written as standalone stories.

I was intrigued by both Nancy and Elizabeth, and can’t say that one story was better than the other, per se. However, I think that if these had been written as two separate novels, both stories could have been teased out in a way that make them more appreciable. As this loosely interwoven plot, it’s hard to really immerse yourself and neither woman gets her spotlight.

The author does do a great job of setting the scene. Tall Chimneys sounds like a lovely place to live, and I could easily picture the home and the setting in my head.
