​Tidelands is the first installment in Philippa Gregory’s "Fairmile" series. Set in 1648 during the English Civil War, it follows Alinor, a midwife and herbalist living in the marshy tidelands of the south coast. As she struggles to survive in a world gripped by superstition and political upheaval, she meets a young man on the run, setting off a chain of events that threatens her life in a community quick to accuse women of witchcraft.
