Sinopse

It's never been easy being a woman, especially during England's 17th-century civil war. This is the backdrop for Tidelands , the first book in the Fairmile series by Philippa Gregory, author of bestsellers such as Anne Boleyn's Sister and The White Queen .

“It is a crime to be poor in this county; it is a sin to be old. It is never good to be a woman.”

England, 1648. A dangerous time to be a woman different from the rest.

It's the eve of the summer solstice, and England is in the grip of a civil war between a renegade king and a rebellious Parliament. The fighting reaches the farthest reaches of the kingdom, even to the remote tidal land—the marshes on the south coast.

Alinor, a descendant of wise women, crushed by the weight of poverty and superstition, waits in the cemetery, in the moonlight, for the ghost of her violent husband to appear, confirming her freedom from him. Instead, she encounters James, a young man on the run. She leads him through the treacherous paths through the swamp, unaware that she is inviting tragedy into her life.

Suspected of harboring dark secrets in superstitious times, Alinor's ambition and determination set her apart from her neighbors. She's not the kind of woman to follow rules. The power of her beauty has always sparked rumors, but her and James's secrets may be far more devastating.

During a period of witch hunts, a woman without a husband, who knows the power of herbs and who suddenly becomes rich, awakens the envy and anger of people eager to take justice into their own hands.

Following the success of the Cousins' Wars and Tudor series, Tidelands is the first book in Philippa Gregory's Fairmile series. In it, the author tells the story of a family spanning more than three centuries through her skillful writing and meticulous research into historical periods.

“Gregory is a master storyteller and never disappoints. Tidal Land is a captivating and intelligent portrait of a woman who struggled to survive in a hostile world.” - The Times

“A powerful novel that sheds light on the difficulties faced by women in the 17th century.” - Daily Mirror
