Book Summary

Daughter of the Tide is a historical romance / saga set in 1939, on the remote Hebridean island of Phetray. The novel centers on Ewan Mackinnon, the son of a Minister, and Minn Macfee, a cottar’s (tenant small farmer) daughter. When they were children, Minn and Ewan are bound together by tragedy: Ewan’s sister drowns accidentally, and Ewan is blamed for what happened; Minn is shunned (by the community or by families) because of that event.

Years pass apart. On the eve of World War II, Ewan, now a sailor, returns to Phetray. He sees Minn again; their old bond reawakens—Ewan falls for Minn’s beauty and her enchanting singing voice. But the past is difficult to shake off: the tragedy, misunderstandings, and disapproval continue to cast long shadows. Ewan eventually joins the Special Boat Squadron and is sent to France, separating them again. Throughout the years, they may try to reconnect, but fate, family, and war intervene, making their love seem both inevitable and fragile.

The story is one of love and loss, guilt, social divisions (class, stigma), the ways the past shapes identity, and how war complicates relationships. It’s evocative, atmospheric (with the Hebridean island setting), and explores whether separated by misfortune love can still endure or whether the currents of time will sweep them apart forever.

About the Author

Leah Fleming is a British author whose path to writing was quite varied. Before becoming a novelist she worked in several different fields: teaching, catering, running a market stall, delivering stress‑management courses in the UK’s NHS, and raising four children. She found her “true calling” as a storyteller later in life. Fleming splits her time between the Yorkshire Dales in England and an olive grove in Crete—drawing inspiration from both places. Her novels are often historical, romantic sagas with strong emotional stakes, evocative settings, and themes of love, tragedy, and the resilience of ordinary people.
