Midsummers Eve  1648  England is in the grip of a civil war between renegade king and rebellious parliament. The struggle reaches every corner of the kingdom  even the remote tidelands --the marshy landscape of the south coast.  Alinor  a descendant of wisewomen  trapped in poverty and superstition  waits in the graveyard under the full moon for a ghost who will declare her free from her abusive husband. Instead  she meets James  a young man on the run  and shows him the secret ways across the treacherous marsh  not knowing that she is leading disaster into the heart of her life.  Suspected of possessing dark secrets in superstitious times  Alinors ambition and determination mark her out from her neighbors. This is the time of witch mania  and Alinor  a woman without a husband  skilled with herbs  suddenly enriched  arouses envy in her rivals and fear among the villagers  who are ready to take lethal action into their own hands.  It is dangerous for a woman to be different.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968248541237,"sku":"ByrdShop_1432868748","price":27.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781432868741.jpg?v=1770650216","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tidelands-thorndike-press-large-print-basic","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
