Dark Tides
First published 2020
In 1670 Alinor and Alys run a modest warehouse on the Thames while James Avery returns to London seeking the son he believes Alinor bore. Their household is disrupted by Livia, a Venetian widow who claims that Rob has drowned and that she is carrying his child.
The family’s search for the truth extends from Restoration London to Venice and New England, where Ned Ferryman confronts the limits of colonial justice. Competing stories of identity, inheritance and loss threaten to divide a family already shaped by displacement.
