I quite liked Secrets of the Tides by Hannah Richell which is set in England. The young Tide family, Richard, Helen and daughters Cassie and Dora move from London to the seaside following the deaths of Richard Tide's parents. The family has some trouble adapting to the new environment. The mother, Helen, especially feels she would prefer to be in London till she meets a local artist. Helen and Richard have a baby boy. Tragedy then strikes the family and the rest of the book examines how they deal with that. The book jumps back and forth in time for Helen, Cassie and Dora and we gradually learn (but can guess) what the tragedy will be and the guilt they all harbour before finally becoming reconciled to what has happened. 31/2/5Friday, June 15, 2012
