Philippa Gregory was an author recommended by a family member. So, I was pleased to win Tidelands through a Goodreads giveaway. Tidelands takes place in 1648 England during England's Civil War. Alinor, the main character, is a strong ambitious mother of 2. She lives in poverty, but works very hard to provide a better life for her children. Her neighbors on the island are suspicious of her beaut, skills as a midwife, and her use of herbs for healing. There is some romance, but the man does not come in and save the day like a typical romance. This story points out how little power and control woman had at this time in history. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. (Dark Tides)
