I didn’t know I needed this in my life. I’ve never had any interest in historical romance, but some authors you’ll follow into places you never thought you wanted to go, and EM is absolutely one of those people. And I never regret it. They made me feel like I was there. Like I was walking alongside these men.

With grace and beauty, EM tells the tale of a young man, William, under the thumb of his overbearing and cruel mother, and a blind writer, Theodore, from France who’s made his home in the US.

Life is not easy. William’s marriage was arranged to a woman who despises him and their circumstances. He’s a lawyer, doing the bidding of the rich, leaving him feeling sordid. Meeting Theodore dangles the idea of happiness and love. But he’s not sure fate will allow that to happen.

It’s a languid story that spans decades, taking us on a journey of heartache, and injustice and forcing them to flee their home. But one that ends with a beautiful, simple life full of love. I love a story that takes us through a lifetime. It’s extremely satisfying to witness their growth and see the world change around them.

Truly, I was captivated by Time and Tide, and am so glad I read it.
