An epic novel about love and war, set in Regency England and Spain
during the Peninsular War
"Tides of War" opens in England with the recently married,
charmingly unconventional Harriet preparing to say good-bye to her
husband, James, as he leaves to join the Duke of Wellington's
troops in Spain. Harriet's and James's interwoven stories of love
and betrayal propel this sweeping and dramatic novel as it moves
between Regency London on the cusp of modernity---a city in love
with science, the machine, and money---and the shocking violence of
the war in Spain. With dazzling skill, Stella Tillyard explores not
only the effects of war on the men at the front but also the
freedoms it offers the women left behind. A powerful rendering of
the Napoleonic era and a brilliant examination of battles yet to
come, "Tides of War" is "one of the most assured literary debuts in
years...the perfect answer to anyone who believes that the past is
out of date" (Amanda Foreman, "Financial Times)."
