Tidelands by Philippa Gregory
4.0

I've been sort of hesitant in jumping on the Philippa Gregory bandwagon, I love historical fiction but always tried to shy away from books that relied too heavily on actual historical figures and most of her books seem to do this that. But boy, have I been denying myself some great reads, Tideland is an interesting book set during the English Civil War in a small coastal town of Tideland centered around Alinor, a beautiful midwife who's husband is missing, and James a stranger in town hides a great secret that could get them both hanged.
Tidelands is a steady read where even though I had an idea that was going to happen I was still surprised by how it happened and the tiny cliffhanger that makes you want to grab the second book but at the same time would still leave you a bit satisfied if you couldn't get your hand on the second book soon enough.
