Captain's Daughter (Moore) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Eliza and Rob face romantic temptation during their time apart, which is the least interesting part of a story that otherwise deftly mines issues of loyalty, class, and what it means to be a parent.… [A] moving novel.
Publishers Weekly


Moore focuses on relationships, loss, and change though the eyes of warm and likable everywoman Eliza. Verdict: A summer read with boats, the ocean, and sunscreen but focused on the life-changing events and the power of love and family to deal with life's problems. —Jan Marry, Williamsburg Regional Lib., VA
Library Journal


[A] mildly thoughtful, mainly comforting slice of domestic pie.… Moore raises some interesting issues about class and the importance of money to happiness, but by solving her characters' problems too neatly and painlessly she undercuts the novel's seriousness.
