Tidelands was released on 20 August 2019. This is the time of witch-mania, and Alinor, a woman without a husband, skilled with herbs, suddenly enriched, arouses envy in her rivals and fear among the villagers, who are ready to take lethal action into their own hands. Book Review: Tidelands by Philippa Gregory (2019) 5 Stars True to her history of writing about strong, independent, and therefore powerful women, the author does not disappoint with her portrayal of Alinor. Suspected of possessing dark secrets in superstitious times, Alinor’s ambition and determination mark her out from her neighbours.
Instead she meets James, a young man on the run, and shows him the secret ways across the treacherous marsh, not knowing that she is leading disaster into the heart of her life. Book Synopsis This New York Times bestseller from one of the great storytellers of our time (San Francisco Book Review) turns from the glamour of the royal. The struggle reaches every corner of the kingdom, even to the remote Tidelands – the marshy landscape of the south coast.Īlinor, a descendant of wise women, crushed by poverty and superstition, waits in the graveyard under the full moon for a ghost who will declare her free from her abusive husband.
Midsummer’s Eve, 1648, and England is in the grip of civil war between renegade King and rebellious Parliament. A dangerous time for a woman to be different.
