The Silent Tide by Rachel Hore
4.0
The Silent Tide is a very compelling historical fiction. Like most books in this genre, there are 2 timelines, Isabel in the 1950's and Emily in the present. Both times are set in a publishing world and the author gives us a glimpse of the tedious job that lies underneath all the wonderful books that a reader digs into. Such a humongous process it is to get the final book on our table! Isabel's story takes us to the difficulties faced by a woman who wants to make a career for herself in that era and the depression she falls into after being forced by circumstances to let go of the success she wants her life to be.Emily however is making a mark in her time and wants Isabel's story told without any coloring of the truth.
The story was interesting but somehow not captivating enough,Isabel definitely struggles but I just couldn't get a connect to her turmoil and just a dash of mystery or spice was missing from the story. All the characters have been wonderfully done and the setting creates a different atmospheric feel to the story.
A very interesting read thou!
