In two world wars, intelligence and counterintelligence, prejudice, and self-sacrifice collide across two generations
In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same–until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie’s inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling’s injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the SS officer he’s tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.
Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, never expecting to fall in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper’s daughter. But when war breaks out in Europe, their relationship is put in jeopardy and may not survive what lies ahead for them.
As the ripples from the Great War rock Evie and Sterling’s lives in World War II, it seems yesterday’s tides may sweep them all into danger again today.
“Yesterday’s Tides has delicious romance, fascinating history, heart-pounding mystery, and wrenching family drama. . . . Please don’t miss this novel.”–SARAH SUNDIN, bestselling and award-winning author of The Sound of Light and Until Leaves Fall in Paris
“Yesterday’s Tides triumphs with raw and real emotion, pulse-pounding action, and romance that pays tribute to the legacy of yesterday to anchor the path of our tomorrows.”–KRISTY CAMBRON, Christy Award-winning author of The Paris Dressmaker

Summary
Yesterday’s Tides by Rosanne White is another example of why she is a best-selling author. Her writing makes it easy to follow the multiple characters and scenarios.
You cannot go wrong with Roseanne White. She has a talent for transporting readers into beautiful settings and time periods in vivid detail.
I love how Roseanne gives the characters such special skill sets. In this story we had characters that knew multiple languages including sign language. Her ability to intertwine the stories in the two time periods is beautiful.
For fans of Roseanne’s books you are going to be over the moon thrilled with the references to characters with almost all of her previous stories. The Code Breaker was my first and maybe my favorite book of Roseanne’s and I was thrilled that room 40 had a role in saving the day in this book.
Sexual content – just kissing
Violence – war, child abuse, reference to sexual assault
Drugs/alcohol – alcoholic abusive father in the past,
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
