Publisher's Summary:
It is the late 1850s, and a tired woman holding a baby walks from Hull to one of the big houses in Anlaby - the home of the wealthy Rayners. She knocks at the door and shoves the baby at young James Rayner. The father was 'young Mr Rayner', and the mother is dead. Then she vanishes.
The respectable shipping family of Hull are shattered. No one wants to take responsibility for the baby, and it is about to be put into an orphanage when Sammi, James' cousin, decides to take the baby back to her parents' home on the Holderness coast. James is banished to London, and disaster begins to beset the three branches of the Rayners.
The third novel in the Hungry Tide sequence, this epic, many-faceted story of three related families tells the triumphs and tragedies of their lives as the whaling industry of Hull begins to decline and the farmlands and homes continue to slip into the sea.
If you enjoy books by Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, you'll love Val's heartwarming stories of triumph over adversity.

Very Sad
This is the last book in Val Wood's Hungry Tide Trilogy . I wish there were more of this family saga on the way!
Love that (luckily)there are at least more from this author! Thank you again, Audible!
If you love English historical fiction, with some romance thrown in, then you will like this book.
I'm an avowed Anglophile..and English historically fiction from almost any era is enjoyed!
This trilogy takes place during the early to middle 1800's with the plight of the children and the poor having a decidedly "Dickensonian" bent.
Exceptional end to a trilogy
I adored this final tale in this trilogy starting with "A hungry tide" followed by "Annie" and beautifully completed with this book. All three are excellent stand alone books but complete as a trilogy which I luckily found by accident
Children of the Tide
Val Wood has once again written a most wonderful story of Hull and the surrounding area of the lives of people, some who had little and such a hard life and some who had plenty and who were so generous in their care and love for others. The story, at times, was so sad but the ending was lovely. Anne Dover is a brilliant narrator- all those different voices!
Great story!
Couldn't stop listening, had to listen to the end. Really loved this story a lot.
