Book Description:
On a sluggish Chinese river in 1890, American heiress Alice Sheffield falls for Andrew Croft, the Boston soldier of fortune hired to bring her home. Alice looks past Andrew’s limitations and finds an agile mind willing to take a leap of faith.
Out of the turmoil of this relationship are born two sons who grow up knowing nothing of their parents’ former lives. Autie, a Princeton dropout, goes to war seeking adventure and fame; Rory, a morally adrift playboy, runs aground in the Mediterranean.
Caught up in their lives are Laura Eklund, the adopted sister in love with both since childhood; Lois, a bohemian Greenwich Village savant; Margaux du Pret, Belgian war bride on the brink of suicide; Procter Darlington, a young stockbroker living fast in Gay Nineties New York; and Gregory Haines, a disfigured war veteran running liquor in the early days of Prohibition.
Spanning the end of the Gilded Age to the aftermath of the Great War, Tidewater does not pass the torch from one generation to the next, but tells concurrently the stories of these individuals in a quickening pace where plans go awry and events turn on loves lost and found.

A beautiful story of family, love, and heroism
It's a very long book to readorth every page to turn. I loved the book cover as well. It is so pretty. I can imagine myself taking a lot of snapshots of my camera.
Each chapter of the book brings you to so many topics and eras. I like that it takes us to so many places by not leaving our living room. I have so many favorite characters but I adore Utie the most. The war he went through is so tough yet he fights until the end until the war is over. He is a man of color but is a fighter. I adore Delphina as well. A woman who is not afraid to know what she wants and reach for her goal and have a better life.
This book takes us to history of which we learned and do better in our lives.
