Books like The house of tides by Hannah Richell

The Tides, a family shrouded in secrets, are still haunted a decade after a tragic event. In the latest chapter, Dora, the youngest daughter, discovers she is pregnant and must confront the darkness of long‑held guilt. Returning to Clifftops, the family’s rambling home on the Dorset coast, she finds her mother, Helen, perhaps ready to make amends for her role in the past. Yet Dora soon realizes that the path to redemption extends beyond her mother, forcing each member of the Tides to confront their own role in the tragedy and to struggle toward a future where forgiveness can heal. The novel explores how ordinary lives are bounded by the weight of memory and the possibilities of new beginnings, as the Tides confront the lingering shadows of their shared history and seek a fresh start on the cliff‑side coast.
