About the book
Through the Changing Tides
Step into Edwardian East London and meet the Cooper family at the beginning of a century that will transform almost every part of British life. Work is demanding, money is uncertain and opportunity rarely arrives without a price, yet home, loyalty and community provide strength as the family confronts changing expectations and new ambitions.
Through the Changing Tides combines an intimate family story with the atmosphere of London between 1900 and 1912. Against a background of crowded streets, social division and a nation moving towards an unknown future, ordinary decisions begin to shape several lives. This opening volume introduces the relationships, hopes and tensions that will carry the Coopers through the decades ahead, offering readers an accessible historical saga about resilience, belonging and the quiet courage required to build a better life.
