Story
It was easy for Elizabeth. She married the man she loved, bore him two children and made a home for him which was the envy of their friends. It was harder for Ruth. She married Elizabeth’s son and then found that, somehow, she could never quite measure up. Isolation, deceit and betrayal fill the gaps between the two individual women and between their different worlds. In this complex thriller, Philippa Gregory deploys all her insight into what women want and what women fear, as Ruth confronts the shifting borders of her own sanity.

Story
Flower shop owner Ellie McEwan is driving home late one frosty November night when a shadowy figure leaps into the road out of nowhere. Ellie swerves to avoid him — and slams head-on into the crash barrier. Days later, Ellie wakes up in hospital — and notices there’s something different. Everyone she looks at — the doctor, the nurse, her friend Carole — is surrounded by a coloured aura. Her near-death experience seems to have given her a new ability. And now Ellie must use her new-found gift to catch a killer.

What a great Storyline

Publisher's Summary
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Philippa Gregory’s new historical novel tracks the rise of the Tidelands family in London, Venice, and New England.
Midsummers Eve, 1670. A wealthy man waits outside a poor London warehouse to meet with Alinor, the woman he failed 21 years before. He has everything to offer, wealth, land, status, and he believes she has the only thing he cannot buy: his son and heir. The warehouse is failing, clinging on to poor business in Restoration London - a city gone mad for pleasure. But will Alinor and her family sell-out to Sir James? Meanwhile in New England, Alinor’s brother Ned, who rebelled against the Crown, cannot find justice in the New World, as the King’s revenge stretches across the Atlanic and turns the pioneers against each other and against the native Americans.
A beautiful widow, Livia, arrives from Venice, telling them Alinor’s son, Rob, has drowned and that she needs the family’s help with a profitable new trade. She will import beautiful statues of marble and bronze to fuel the classical craze among the wealthy landowners. She enchants the warehouse family with her son, their new heir; her sensual carefree warmth; and promises of wealth to come. She captures Sir James and spins them all into a mesh of deceit which only the brave little daughter of the warehouse can break. Sarah searches for the truth about Livia in Venice bringing home the stunning denouement to this, the second book in the Fairmile series.

First is better
The first book is a lot better than this one for sure. this was a good book, but it ended up bring like a drain and I had to push myself to actually finish the book. I think the first book is a lot better, but if a third book does come out i will listen to it.

incredible read
After reading Tidelands I was thrilled to discover Dark Tides. As with all Gregorys books, it was amazingly researched, incredibly interesting, and I couldn't stop listening. The narration was also excellent.

Really excellent and never disappointing
Wow, what twists and turns Philippe Gregory is able to pull of with a very satisfying end! I would recommend to anyone who likes good historical fiction. The narration is first class as well.
One disappointing and small change I would like to suggest to Amazon is to change the introductory and end speakers from American accents to English; the drawling American accent does nothing to a lot of readers. Ok for American books but not from books written in Europe. I hope that Amazon understands and corrects this anomaly.

Outstanding! Such a relief to find a brilliant book
I’ve been really struggling to find good audiobooks lately and the release of Dark Tides was an incredible relief. I loved Tidelands and this instalment is similarly addictive. I had to keep listening. I found myself wanting to shout at some of the characters because I was so invested. It’s such a relief to find an outstanding, high quality, gripping audiobook!
Loved the narrator; her voice is perfect. The conclusion of the book comes a bit too quickly and easily but I loved it nonetheless.
