Val Wood writes romantic historical sagas set mainly in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Hungry Tide begins with a young woman facing poverty and difficult choices in nineteenth-century Hull, while books such as The Doorstep Girls, The Harbour Girl and The Innkeeper’s Daughter return to working people whose lives are shaped by docks, domestic service, trade and family expectations. Wood’s novels are accessible, relationship-led and strongly rooted in local streets, workplaces and communities rather than grand historical events alone. Many books can be read as standalones even when they share the same regional world. Her work is particularly useful for readers of Hull-set fiction, Victorian family saga and working-class historical romance. Read more Less
