Tidelands
by Philippa Gregory
Tidelands is both a departure and a return for Gregory. She is revisiting her earlier style of exploring history through the lens of fictional (and common) characters. But the scope of this series is perhaps more ambitious—setting out to chart the rise of a family from the lower echelons of society during the English Civil War.
Fans of her Tudor novels will enjoy the attention to detail and vivid recreation of the time and landscape. It reads a little slow to begin with but if you’re willing to invest the time, this really does set the scene and atmosphere for what will be a rip-roaring series to come.
I loved this book—it actually gave me a bit of a Moorland Dynasty vibe (Cynthia Harrod-Eagles). It’s one of those reads where the characters grab you and you need to know what happens to them.
Be warned…it ends on a cliff-hanger that will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for book two!
