Tides of War

Resumen del libro

A newly-wed Harriet stands poised on the threshold of the adult world. Her husband, James, is setting off to join the Duke of Wellington's troops in Spain. Left in London, Harriet is taken under the wing of Kitty, Lady Wellington. While the women are plunged into new worlds of politics, finance and science, the men face the bloody reality of the battlefield, testing their endurance to the hilt. There are betrayals on both sides, and at times it seems their love cannot endure. From the mantillas and palms of Seville to the gas lamps of foggy London, Tides of War carries us deep into the anguish of men at war and the taste of freedom offered to the women left behind. As Harriet and James pursue their destinies, facing hope and heartache in equal measure, this stunning novel returns us to the vivid, lost world of the past.
