Yesterday's Tides

I don't usually like war books, and this one has stories bridging two, but I picked it up anyway because the characters and their stories sounded so interesting. I'm glad I did because from first sentence to last, I was captivated. Often in split time stories, I'll prefer one timeline (and its storyline/characters) over the other. I find myself rushing through one to get back to my preferred storyline. But I never did in this one. Maybe because of how the stories intertwined, maybe just because I loved the characters. Either way, it's a story that will stay with me a long time. Also really really loved all the cameos from Roseanna's other stories. Each one brought a smile, even if it was just the mention of a name, knowing they were all together. If you enjoy historical fiction, split time fiction, romance, stories based around family, or just really well written characters, definitely pick this one up.

This historical dual time line romance deals with two wars, racism and social elitism. But love conquers all. I wasn't always certain there would be happy endings and peril and suffering abounded. Well written and timed, never a dull moment I didn't want to put it down as I needed to know how things turned out. I love how revenge was not the plot and family and prayer were major themes. I'll be looking into this author's other offerings, she'll possibly be a new favourite.
