**Overview:**
"Dark Tides" by Philippa Gregory is a historical fiction novel set in the 17th century. The story unfolds on Midsummer Eve in 1670 and revolves around two unexpected visitors who arrive at a shabby warehouse on the south side of the River Thames.
The first visitor is James Avery, a wealthy man in search of the lover he deserted twenty-one years ago. He believes that the warehouse's owner, Alinor, possesses the one thing his money cannot buy – his son and heir. James Avery has the favor of the newly restored King Charles II, making his pursuit even more intriguing.
The second visitor is a beautiful widow from Venice in deep mourning. She claims Alinor as her mother-in-law and delivers heartbreaking news that Alinor's son, Rob, has drowned in the dark tides of the Venice lagoon.
Alinor, however, remains convinced that her son is alive and that the widow is an imposter. She writes to her brother Ned, who is trying to establish a life between the worlds of the English newcomers and the American Indians in faraway New England.
As the story unfolds, it takes readers on a journey from the poverty and glamour of Restoration London to the golden streets of Venice and the tense frontier of early America. "Dark Tides" explores themes of greed, desire, love, wealth, and the search for home.
Philippa Gregory, known for her historical fiction novels, weaves a captivating tale set against the backdrop of a tumultuous historical period.
**Note:** This book contains elements of historical drama, family intrigue, and mystery, making it a compelling read for fans of historical fiction.
