philippa gregory tidelands series book 3

Twice a day even the tide deserted them, leaving banks of stinking mud, and piers of weedy ramps rising like old bones from the water. The greatest ships, towed by eager barges, glided past the little wharves, as if the quays were nothing but flotsam, sticks and cobbles, rotting as they stood. The wealth of London passed them by, sailing upstream to the half-built new Custom House, its cream stone façade set square on the fast-flowing river, as if it would tax every drop of the roiling dirty water. The ramshackle warehouse was the wrong side of the river, the south side, where the buildings jostled for space and the little boats unloaded pocket-size cargos for scant profit. ‘If this novel is the first sign of what's to come then readers are in for a treat’ Emma Lee-Potter, Daily Express Read more Historical events are written with breathless immediacy, keeping the reader enthralled even if they know the outcome’ Alys Key, The i ‘Philippa Gregory returns with an English Civil War novel that excels in everything she does best. ‘The novel's power lies in Gregory's evocative portrayal of the tidelands and the everyday lives of those who are bound to them’ Sunday Express ‘A compelling novel that shines a light on the struggles of 17th century women’ Daily Mirror ‘Vivid and beguiling – Philippa Gregory at her best’ W oman & Home The author crafts her material with effortless ease.
