Book Spotlight Fridays! Yesterday's Tides


Book Beginnings and Friday56


Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.  First Line Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Reading is my Superpower that asks you to share the first sentence of the book you're reading.

This one is going slower, mainly because I am trying to savor everything Roseanna M White brings to a story.


Yesterday's Tides





About the book:

In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same--until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie's inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling's injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the man he's tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.

Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, but he doesn't count on falling in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper's daughter. When war breaks out in Europe, and their relationship is put in jeopardy, will their love survive?

As Evie and Sterling work to track down an elusive German agent, they unravel mysteries that go back a generation. The ripples from the Great War are still rocking their lives, and it seems yesterday's tides may sweep them all into danger again today.

Bestselling and award-winning author Roseanna M. White whisks you away to two periods fraught with peril in this sweeping and romantic dual-time tale.

1942
The first light of sunrise turned the water of the Pamlico Sound to gold, the clouds to rose, and the dark to morning, promising Evie farrow that today would be just like yesterday.

It was over. Finished. Done.

My thoughts so far

I don't think I have read a duel-time playing out in both WW1 and WW2 but I am enjoying it.

  1. I have a hard time reading books that are based around any of the wars. I just cannot get into them. I love that cover though. Happy weekend!

    1. This one is actually worth the read - not a lot of focus on the actual war.

  2. I usually try to avoid reading wartime novels, but I don't think I've seen a dual timeline story involving both world wars - very interesting! Happy Reading!

    1. This one is def worth the read - more behind the scenes than war scenes.

  3. Have you noticed how many book covers show women walking away? As if the publisher thinks if they show us the face it will wreck the book.

  4. This is an interesting dual timeline that covers both world wars.

  5. A book worth savoring is a good one. I like the idea of the dual narratives straddling the two World Wars. Have a great weekend and happy reading!
