About the book
Discover the Changing Tides
In 1937, the Cooper family can sense that Europe is again moving towards conflict. The years that follow bring sirens, separation, danger and loss, forcing each generation to decide what duty, courage and family responsibility mean when ordinary life is placed under extraordinary pressure.
Discover the Changing Tides carries the saga through the Second World War and into the uncertain peace of 1950. The story embraces both public upheaval and private consequence: homes must be protected, work continues, relationships change and survival is followed by the difficult task of rebuilding. Rather than ending with victory, the novel explores the silence after crisis and the adjustments demanded by a country marked by war. Rich in period atmosphere and grounded in the experiences of an East London family, this volume is about endurance, renewal and the ties that remain when familiar certainties have disappeared.
