Secrets of the Tides

A wholehearted family tale of tragedy, loss and misunderstanding.
The book held my attention throughout, however my not being a fan of neat and tidy, happily ever after wrapping up of a novel, stopped this from being rated higher in the enjoyment scales.
It reached a fork in the road where it could have turned either down the mystery path, or taken the chick-lit route....unfortunately for me, it took the chick-lit 'it'll all work out alright' path.
Now there is nothing wrong with that, it simply isn't to my personal taste.
That said the ability to run so many character narratives concurrently alongside one another , without creating complete confusion, deserves applauding.
I would certainly be keen to read more from this author. As with "Love Song" by Nikki Gemmell, it would be great to see this author write a novel that splits itself between England and Australia, for us expats to enjoy.

@JoFiz Thanks Josie. Appreciate you reading and reviewing the book. If I wrote that book again now I think the ending would be different.
