About this listen
Every family has its secrets. Some are small, like telling a white lie or snooping through a private drawer. Others are more serious, like infidelity and betrayal. And some secrets are so terrible they must be hidden away in a deep, dark place, for if they ever came to light, they would surely tear a family apart....
The Tides are a family full of secrets. Returning to Clifftops, the rambling family house high on the Dorset coastline, youngest daughter Dora hopes for a fresh start, for herself and the new life she carries. But can long-held secrets ever really be forgiven? And even if you can forgive, can you ever really learn to love again?
Secrets of the Tides is the spellbinding debut from Hannah Richell; a rich and compelling family drama with a dark thread of suspense at its heart. Read by Emilia Fox, star of Silent Witness.

Disappointing
I really struggled with this book. The story was ok but the writing was clunky and the characters one dimensional, I really didn't care what happened to them. It was only the excellent narration by Emilia Fox that kept me going.

beautiful narration
I did enjoy this book at the beginning, I thought it was well written and of course emilia fox is always a pleasure to listen to. but I didn't warm to any of the characters and just felt the story could have done with some editing.

brilliantly observed
Any additional comments?
This book brilliantly observed how grieve ensnares us and how guilt can destroy the very being of a family. Sensetively told without relying on cliche

This is a well written book read beautifully by Emilia Fox. Full of pathos, guilt and regret, this is not an easy book to listen to. The author writes skilfully and creates a maelstrom of heart rending emotions although the dialogue rambles in places. The end of the book is intended to be uplifting but I didn't find it so. It left me with a feeling of intense sadness that lasted long after I listened to the last word.

Atmospheric
Loved this book, was sad when it finished,loved the mystery, the whole atmosphere of the story. Emilia Fox, was brilliant. Shows how secrets pull a family apart from the inside, but left you with hope for the future.

Poignant and gripping family drama
This is a beautifully crafted and sensitively read novel which centres round an unbearable family tragedy. The main characters are beautifully drawn and you really get to know and sympathise with each of their predicaments and the awful situation they find themselves in. I found my emotions surging as the drama unfolded, and the ending was truly uplifting. Believable, poignant and a resounding good listen! Thanks Hannah.

Great find
Really enjoyed this book, don't know how I ended up downloading it, but glad I did it was nice to get lost in cliff tops for a while and was impressed by the twists in the story. I would read another of Richells novels based on this audio book

Secret of the Tides
A wonderful book. Heartbreaking at times but an excellent story. I am so glad that I decided to download it. Hannah Richell is writer I will look out for in future. The narration, by Emelia Fox was perfect.
