A brilliant debut by a wonderful historian, TIDES OF WAR is a sweeping, romantic, panoramic historical novel, set in Regency London and in Spain during the Peninsula War. At its centre stands Harriet,the young, outspoken heroine, on the threshold of adult life. She is newly married, but her soldier husband, James, is about to set off to join Wellington s troops in Spain, accompanied by his friend, a pioneering young doctor, who also falls for Harriet s charms. Left in London, Harriet is taken under the wing of Kitty, Lady Wellington. And while the women plunge into new worlds of politics, finance and science, the men face the bloody reality of the battlefield and the siege of Badajos, testing their endurance to the hilt. James falls fatally for a glamorous Spanish spy, but there are betrayals on both sides and at times it seems their love cannot endure. Their interwoven stories carry us through the tumult of the Regency at home and abroad, and the drama stars a vast cast from the Duke of Wellington and the brilliant money-man, Nathan Rothschild, to a compelling young entrepreneur who brings gas lighting to London, and a down-to earth sergeant and his exuberant wife.
