Newly wed Rosabelle Maltman loses her husband on the night of the disaster, while her mother-in-law Effie loses her husband and three sons in a single, catastrophic night. Based on true events, the novel follows the women left behind as they mourn, support one another and slowly find the strength to imagine a future again. \u003cem\u003eTurn of the Tide\u003c\/em\u003e picks up the story as the village continues to rebuild. Still grieving, Rosabelle has left Scotland to start afresh, leaving her young son behind in Eyemouth. Meanwhile her sister-in-law Jessie schemes to manipulate the men of the village for her own advantage, and it falls once again to the formidable Effie to hold the family and the wider community together. Together, the two novels form a moving, atmospheric saga of a real Scottish tragedy and the ordinary women who lived through its aftermath. McNeill writes with warmth and historical detail, drawing readers into a tightly bound fishing community where grief and hope sit side by side. Fans of multi-generational family sagas set against dramatic historical backdrops will find both books immersive, emotionally rich reads that stand alone but reward being read in sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo full-length historical sagas in one great-value paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the real 1881 Eyemouth fishing disaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Ellie Dean, Anna Jacobs and Scottish family sagas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, ideal for gifting or collecting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmotionally rich storytelling with strong, memorable female characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast, free UK delivery from LetsBuyBooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElisabeth McNeill was a long-established freelance journalist and broadcaster who wrote five non-fiction books and 26 novels.
