Book Description:
On a sluggish Chinese river in 1890, American heiress Alice Sheffield falls for Andrew Croft, the Boston soldier of fortune hired to bring her home. Alice looks past Andrew’s limitations and finds an agile mind willing to take a leap of faith.
Out of the turmoil of this relationship are born two sons who grow up knowing nothing of their parents’ former lives. Autie, a Princeton dropout, goes to war seeking adventure and fame; Rory, a morally adrift playboy, runs aground in the Mediterranean.
Caught up in their lives are Laura Eklund, the adopted sister in love with both since childhood; Lois, a bohemian Greenwich Village savant; Margaux du Pret, Belgian war bride on the brink of suicide; Procter Darlington, a young stockbroker living fast in Gay Nineties New York; and Gregory Haines, a disfigured war veteran running liquor in the early days of Prohibition.
Spanning the end of the Gilded Age to the aftermath of the Great War, Tidewater does not pass the torch from one generation to the next, but tells concurrently the stories of these individuals in a quickening pace where plans go awry and events turn on loves lost and found.

My Review:
Tidewater is the first book I have read from Eric B Miller. After I finished reading this one, it will not be the last. The size of the novel was intimidating when first received it but once I opened to page one, I did not want to put it down. Historical fiction is my favorite genre to read and the author does not disappoint with this saga. The novel spans thirty five years - from 1890 to 1925. At the first meeting of Andrew Croft and Alice Sheffield, I was quickly captivated with the story. The vivid details all throughout the book made me feel as though I was part of it. It was a joy to travel all over the world from China and United States, etc. It was wonderful going back in time with these characters and discovering their experiences and journeys along the way. There were many plot twists and turns that I could have never predicted, making me want to continue to read on. I loved every single page.
I am giving Tidewater a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read historical fiction. I am eager to find more novels from the talented Eric B Miller in the future. He no doubt has earned himself a new fan.
I received a paperback copy Eric B Miller's Tidewater from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
