Produktbeschreibung

Book Three: 1796

Should Jiddy stay, or should she go?

When Jonas left Robin Hood's Bay, he abandoned his vows to Jiddy. The sea engulfed Captain Samuel Ryethorpe, and his death exposed her once more as an outsider.

Both young men believed they acted with high morals, but it was the amoral Captain Pinkney who threw Jiddy a lifeline.

Now, the defiant seventeen-year-old resolves to find choices and freedom for local girls battered by poverty and confined by an insular community.

Jiddy is determined. No man, no government, no place will hold them back.

As friends find new beginnings, Jiddy looks across the moors to York, where love beckons. The North Sea entices with childhood dreams of distant places, but smuggling and hustling are all she has known.

What's it to be for our endlessly curious and contradictory Jiddy Vardy?

Dramatic and atmospheric...I would recommend to fans of historical fiction with strong female leads.
Praise for High Tide by The Pages of Mrs D

Brutal, breathtaking and brilliant! After reading Jiddy's entire story, I've fallen in love with her. Such a legend!

Autorenporträt

Ruth Estevez was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1961. Her father, Peter John Estevez was of Spanish descent, his family coming to London to set up a Sherry importing business from the family vineyard in Jerez de la Frontera. Her mother, Gladys Parkinson, was from Yorkshire ancestry, her grandfather being one of three or four coal merchants in Bradford to still be in business after World War Two. Before the war, there had been approximately sixty coal merchants.

Recurring themes for Ruth are about belonging, finding a place in the world and what people will do when they have nothing left to lose. Her books tend to be based in Yorkshire, France and Formentera because she loves all three. Her strengths lie in place, character and dialogue. In the French tradition, plot feels secondary, but she is highly aware that the Western World loves plot, so she is working on it! But still remembering it's the STORY that counts.
