About this title

Synopsis

In 1719 a battalion of Spanish soldiers landed on the west coast of Scotland. They were all that survived of the Spanish Armada's last failed invasion of Britain.

Thoroughly researched, R P Carruthers has produced a riveting historical novel that fully captures the harsh and turbulent era when Scottish Jacobites in alliance with Spain rose against the English Crown.

The Tide Also Takes is a story of adventure, war, intrigue, love and betrayal. It brings to vivid life the destruction of Eilean Donan Castle, the battle of Glenshiel, and, at the novel's very heart, the extraordinary and unexpected love affair between a Spanish officer and the wife of a local laird.

Based partly on a Gaelic folk tale as well as historic record, and reflecting moral dilemmas that are universal as they are timeless, The Tide Also Takes contains twists and turns that will keep the reader gripped to the very last page.
