I enjoyed this short story and was reminded of the movie "Brigadoon", with the village appearing and disappearing at odd times. But, when his wife and children come for a visit, they cannot see the village or any of the people Adam sees. Is he truly living in that past or is he going crazy (as his wife suspects)? He meets local fishermen at the pub, falls in love with a young woman named Charlotte, and has mysterious encounters with an older woman who seems to be his landlady. The longer he lives in the cottage, the further he is drawn into the past. Soon, he starts to experience strange events that seem to be transporting him back in time. Adam Collins buys one of the few remaining cottages along the seacoast after being told that he needs to get away from his high pressure job. This was an entertaining tale of a village that was lost many years ago to a natural disaster. I do recommend this book it's worth 2 hrs & 56 min!! I do recommend the narrator as well!! This book was given to me for free at my request and I am providing this honest review voluntarily. His voice is really wonderful & was perfect for the story. He made no mistakes, was clear & showed all the right emotions in each character. I love stories that keep me guessing & are not 100% predictable!!! I not only really enjoyed the story, but I loved the narrator as well. The characters are clear & easy to build a relationship with, it definitely had me rooting for them!! I didn't see the ending coming either. The storyline is very original & very well developed. A story with ghosts, love, creepy people, friendship, love loss & a trip back to the 1830s. Things are not as they seem though & Adam finds out what happened to Coathaven for himself. (No spoilers) Adam falls in love in a different time & tried to show others the village he is able to wonder around in & make new friends. A fishing town that was hit by a horrible event, which left a big loss. Adam buys an old cottage by a cliffs edge where many years ago the Coathaven Village once sat.
