Tidelands by Philippa Gregory
5.0

A Must Read for Historical Fiction Fans

Gregory's narrative captivated me as much as Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" did a decade ago. This story, unlike many of Gregory's other titles, traces the path of a commoner and her family as they struggle to rise above their assigned stations and the prejudices that attempt to keep them there. I cannot wait to read what becomes of the family in the next story.
