For me, the best part about Black Snow was the setting and historical aspect, but because this book has the same setting, I wondered what about it would stand out and make me want to read on?īlack Snow was a fast and furious read, but Tides of Honour is longer and more drawn out. Like Black Snow, this book is a love story. I am curious to know how many fictional views/ideas can be created based on this time/place/event, and which versions appeal to me the most. I have also since added to my list of books to read about the Halifax Explosion, so there may be more in the future. Having read all three in a relatively short time, I found it fun and interesting to compare them all. Our group was looking for an historical romance, and I am always eager to read locally, so we settled on Tides of honour. In the meantime, I discovered yet another new book with the same setting, which became our book club’s summer read – Tides of Honour. I even listed it in my Hopeful Reading List for 2015, and finally got to it while on vacation in August. At around the same time, I heard about a new book coming out set during the same time and place, The Blue Tattoo. A few months ago, I read a book called Black Snow, a love story set during WWI and the Halifax Explosion.
