The Running of the Tide.

Esther. Forbes

Houghton Mifflin Co, 1948

Everything you want great historical fiction to be.
It's hard to imagine now that this book was considered pop fiction when it was published in 1948. You'd now have to look deep into modern literary fiction to find a work as complex, nuanced, historically exciting and completely enjoyable as "Running of the Tide." ...
