About this listen

The brand-new series from the Sunday Times number one best-selling author

The eagerly awaited first book in Philippa Gregory’s sweeping new series begins with the story of Alinor, a young midwife who finds herself tempted by a forbidden love affair. But in a society that has already set a path for her, she is all too aware of the dangers that await a woman who dares step out of place....

The unmissable listen for summer 2019.

Praise for Philippa Gregory:

"Gregory has popularised Tudor history perhaps more than any other living fiction writer... All of her books feature strong, complex women, doing their best to improve their lives in worlds dominated by men." (Sunday Times)

"Popular historical fiction at its finest, immaculately researched and superbly told." (The Times)

"Engrossing." (Sunday Express)

Excellent novel, kept me wanting more from the first page. My only criticism is that it ended with so many questions unanswered. Hanging out for the next book!

Like "A Respectable Trade" this story draws you into the time period and keeps you immersed in the story, cannot wait for the next installment.

Another great Story

This book was recommended to me and to be honest I did not know what to expect.
Found the story captivating and could imagine the intolerable suffering women were subjected to in patriarchal England.
In the end the story swept me up and found I listened to the story day and night.

For lovers of a English history and strong women

I may be biased as I have said before I like Philippa Gregory, I enjoy her historical accounts of the various English Kings and Queens.
I wasn’t sure if I would be as keen on the Tideland series, but I was proven wrong.
It was a rich story and I felt as though I was living it with this narration.

Great Book.

My first read by this author. I enjoyed it as an audiobook, but at times the voices used for Alinor and Alice overlapped so much that I had to listen hard for context to know who was speaking. For the most part it was fine. I will read others in the series sooner rather than later.

Enjoyable if you can deal with long explanations of everything from how to get dressed to sweeping floors . Feels like half the books is just describing what she is physically doing - how she does her chores .
The end felt very lazy. I honestly expected the story to keep going . It could have been really good if it continued. Hopefully there will be a 2nd book to at least finish it ?

Enjoyed but the ending felt lazy
