![]() ![]() The story held plenty of suspense as the setting moves from London to Venice. He has decided to make a new life where he can be his own master in New England (USA). Alinor's brother Ned has also left the tidelands now that the new king is on the throne. They are not rich but they get by and both Sarah and Johnnie have apprenticeships. Alys now runs a wharf on the poorer south-side of London whilst Alinor brings in money making packs of herbs and selling them. Alys has 21 year old twins, Sarah and Johnnie. ![]() I was excited to to see how Alinor and her daughter Alys would fair in this new adventure. Tidelands (book1) left us with two strong, determined women leaving Sealsea Island, heading to London to start a new life. Dark Tides is book 2 in The Fairmile series. Philippa Gregory casts her story within the deep rushing waters of characters transfixed on deviously dark motives. ![]() Reading in this way also offers more perspective on the characters Alys, especially, because her history is important. While you could read Dark Tides on its own, I recommend reading both books in succession for a richer story. There’s another storyline in Dark Tides where Alinor’s brother, Ned, moves to New England to break free of England during this time period. This is the second in the series by Phillipa Gregory. ![]()
