This was a case of the story being just too short. It's about the search for a daughter who was lost in a tsunami and is told from the mother's point of view. We all grieve in different ways and the parents here were no exception but it could have been explored so much more. There was some lovely writing here but it was also pretty choppy. I think it could have been smoothed out some by expanding on what exactly happened during the tsunami and the different approaches the parents took to dealing with the catastrophe. If the author ever revisits this piece, I could easily see a full length novel where the POV switches between the husband and wife. I suspect they would have very different stories to tell. I give the author some extra credit here as I have essentially outlined said novel in my head due to the unanswered questions I have. Of course, the unanswered questions also leave me frustrated.Formatting on the kindle was great.

The Breaking Wave Katherine Hayton 9781518671890 Books Reviews
This is a short novel about a mother and father whose daughter is lost in a tsunami while they are on vacation. The story takes place at the end of a three week period during which they have been hunting for their child or her body. The story is told from the view point of the mother. There is grapic description of the effects of the wave and their various efforts to have some closure. The name of the daughter is Tasmin which to me is a constant reminder of what happened. The stories of other people are related from the view point of the mother and bring the story to a climax I was provided a copy of this book to read for review.
I was given the link to this story at the end of Ms. Hayton's novel "Found, Near Water". I enjoyed this novelette. Although short, the character development of Christine was well-done. This story took place some years before the events in "Found, Near Water". I felt the ending was a bit rushed, and left more questions than answers. Although the author doesn't directly state this, the reader can assume they found Tamsin, not alive. Christine knew in her heart Tamsin was dead, but Gary did not. Until he saw her body, he had faith that she was alive and would be reunited with her parents. This was a sad story that demonstrates the power of nature.
What I would consider a short story, this book takes place in a short amount of time after the major tsunami that devastated Thailand. A couple reunites after the tragedy, but can't find their daughter so they desperately search every day for her.
I have heard a few stories about Thailand, but this book really described the aftermath and what families did to reunite and rebuild after the devastation. I knew going into this book that it would be short and sweet, but as it was going, I definitely could have used a few more pages and maybe some more detail about the actual tsunami and maybe even more detail about how they reunited.
If you would like to read a quick read about the after effects of the tsunami and the humanity behind it.
