Daughter of the Tide

by Leah Fleming

It is 1939 and the eve of the Second World War when the handsome sailor Ewan Mackinnon returns to his childhood home on the remote Hebridean island of Phetray. He was forced to run from the ignominy of a terrible event, the disgraced Minister's son. Arriving home, many years later, he is reunited with Minn Macfee, a cottar's daughter, instantly falling for her graceful beauty and enchanting voice.

But Minn and Ewan are bound by the same misfortune that caused their separation in childhood. When Ewan joins the Special Boat Squadron and embarks for France, leaving Minn behind, it seems fate has intervened once more.

Touched by tragedy and the weight of the past, their love seems destined to die. Or will the tides of time bring them together again?

Reviews

[Debbie Coates · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this book, not your normal romance but couldn’t put it down.

[Macmsue · Rating 4 out of 5]

I lived for seven years in Scotland with family from the Western Isles and the characters, culture and language rang true for me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book but it did have a Thomas Hardy feel to it for me with fate always interfering to ensure the lovers narrowly missed each other at vital times.

I listened to this as an audiobook and think the Scottish narrator made it even more fabulous. I loved every minute and when I had finished searches immediately for the follow up book but very sadly think this is the end of this story.
