Yesterday's Tides

Yesterday's Tides by Roseanna M. White is an enthralling tale of two different eras set during WWI and WWII. The book captures the essence of Ocracoke Island and its inhabitants as they try to navigate through the perils of war, and the havoc wrought by the German U-boats that prowl their shores.

The book's protagonist, Evie Farrow, is a remarkable character who lives on the island, which is the perfect setting for the story. As German U-boats begin to threaten the island, the arrival of special agent Sterling Bertrand at Evie's inn sets off a chain of events that changes Evie's life forever. While Sterling's injuries keep him bound to the inn, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.

The book's plot is ingeniously crafted, with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged throughout. The writing is nothing short of brilliant, with both the WWI and WWII storylines masterfully intertwined. The suspense in this book is simply breathtaking, with the intensity of the characters' lives drawing the reader into their world.

The characters are incredibly well-developed, with each one having a unique personality that adds depth to the story. The historical background to both time periods is beautifully described, offering readers insight into the lesser-known aspects of history. Roseanna's previous series also make appearances in the book, adding a layer of familiarity to the story.

Overall, Yesterday's Tides is a fantastic book that offers readers a glimpse into the lives of the people living on Ocracoke Island during two of the world's most significant wars. It is a touching tribute to the people who lived and died during those tumultuous times. If you love tales of spies, loyalty, and ill-fated love, this book is an absolute must-read.
