LoveReading Says

One of our Great Reads You May Have Missed in 2012.

A sensitive, convincing and beautifully written novel. Full of descriptive power, it defines the beginnings and consequences of a family tragedy - from love and guilt to the difference between choices and accidents. With scenes so tense I had to skip ahead to check it was safe to continue and rounded, believable characters, this is a magnificent, moving debut.

 

September 2012 Debut of the Month.

A "Piece of Passion" from the publisher Orion...

"It's not often a book comes along that makes you drop everything. When Secrets of the Tides arrived one Thursday lunchtime, I started reading. Within two hours I'd called the agent to say that she really mustn't sell this anywhere else as we had to publish it."

I remember finishing reading it in the garden later that night, aware that I was letting  my children go slightly feral as the book demanded my full attention. But I was utterly transported to Clifftops, the big house high on the Dorset coast, where things had gone so very wrong for the Tide family and I couldn't take my eyes off the page.

As Hannah Richell deftly unpeeled their story, moving seemlessly between the past and the present, it was clear that this was a family shaken by tragedy and that everyone was guilty of something. 

 

This is a delicious read but so much more as well.  Hannah explores the light and shade in all our lives, and how quickly our world can change in a heartbeat.   Hannah Richell shows a narrative voice that is uniquely compelling and entirely her own. Secrets of the Tides is a very remarkable debut; I hope you enjoy it." Kate Mills Publishing Director at Orion Books.
