A compelling, compact novel about a woman who walks out of her life
and washes up in an out-of-season seaside town - from a powerful
new Canadian-British voice After a sudden, devastating loss, Mara
flees her family and ends up adrift in a wealthy coastal town.
Mired in her grief, Mara's first few days are spent alone,
surviving on what scraps of food she can find, and swimming at
night in the ocean. When her money runs out and the tourist season
comes to a close, Mara finds a job in a local wine store and meets
its owner, Simon, a man whose loneliness she immediately recognises
as a mirror to her own. As Mara dances around her growing
attraction to Simon, she is forced to reckon with both her present
desires and her past errors, and with the compulsion she feels to
both make and unmake herself. Tides is a spare, visceral portrait
of a woman nearly pulled under by loss and desire. It is an
unforgettable introduction to a debut writer of uncommon literary
power.
