Yesterday’s Tides

by: Roseanna M. White

Occasionally I get the chance to participate in a launch team and let the whole world know when a new book is coming out to you. Yesterday’s Tides is one such book! This book is amazing.  I have already read it and will share my review below.  But do know this is a favorite author of mine for historical fiction.  She especially writes wonderfully about the World Wars.  Always the characters will come to life and make you feel like you’ve gone back in time.

My Thoughts on Yesterday’s Tides

I personally love a great historical fiction novel.  This one fits the bill and takes it a step higher in that it’s a historical fiction novel with a dual timeline that takes you through both the Great War (World War I) and WWII.  Each story follows a set of characters but they are somehow entwined with each other.  I can’t tell you how or I’d give it all away!  But do know it’s amazing!

The setting for both books is primarily on Ocracoke Island.  This is one of the outer banks islands.  I can’t say that I had ever heard of or done a lot of research on this island before I read this book but now I’ve learned loads and looked up even more.  

In this story you follow Evie who happens to find a special agent ( Sterling Bertrand) washed ashore.  She works to save him and keep him alive as well as learn his story and why he’s here.  While also hiding her secrets from him.  War is raging, U-Boats are off their shores and Sterling is on a mission he doesn’t share all of.  They each have their secrets.  Can they trust each other and help each other or will they work against each other?

For the dual timeline portion we head back to the first World War on the same islands with a different set of characters.  It’s just before war starts and an Englishman happens to be staying at the inn.  Remington finds himself drawn to the innkeepers daughter Louisa.  But she has secrets of her own and the war will wait for no one.  

There is so much suspense in here and intertwining and also just some great romance as well.  Throw in the fact that somewhere along the line the characters come together. I can’t share too much because I don’t want to give it away.  

It’s so hard to find a good book with clean romance plus lots of mystery and suspense on the market today.  Roseanna M White always writes ones that fit the bill.  It’s why I always look forward to her new books coming out.  I’m already hoping that this one will have a sequel because I’m going to need to know more of Celeste’s story. 

Please do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this book. You’re going to love it!  It also brings in some cameos of other books and characters that Roseanna wrote about the Great War and the Codebreakers.  I’m in love with them and loved getting to say hello to them again.
