![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Philippa’s story telling had me intrigued from the very beginning and her descriptions of daily life and the surroundings were beautifully written and made you feel like you were there. Reading ‘Tidelands’ put me in right there and what an adventure I had. Imagine living back in England, 1648 in the midst of a civil war between the King and Parliament and how dangerous being a poor woman raising two children would be. And I can say ‘Tidelands’ her new series did not disappoint as being my first book by her. 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.Īs a fan of historical fiction I was looking forward to reading a Philippa Gregory book, I mean her name is everywhere … on the television, media, social media and of course the bookstores. A dangerous time for a woman to be different. Our most recent Preview was Tidelands by Philippa Gregory, a rich and engaging historical fiction set in England 1648. ![]()
