'Smart, perceptive, elegant, sad, surprising and addictive. And
it's also FUNNY.' Nick Hornby 'What We Run the Tides probes so
poignantly is the volatility of female adolescence... Knowing and
powerfully enigmatic.' Observer Teenage Eulabee and her magnetic
best friend, Maria Fabiola, own the streets of Sea Cliff, their
foggy oceanside San Francisco neighbourhood. They know Sea Cliff's
homes and beaches, its hidden corners and eccentric characters - as
well as the upscale all-girls' school they attend. One day, walking
to school with friends, they witness a horrible act - or do they?
Eulabee and Maria Fabiola vehemently disagree on what happened, and
their rupture is followed by Maria Fabiola's sudden disappearance -
a potential kidnapping that shakes the quiet community and
threatens to expose unspoken truths. Suspenseful and poignant, We
Run the Tides is Vendela Vida's masterful portrait of an inimitable
place on the brink of radical transformation. Pre-tech boom San
Francisco finds its mirror in the changing lives of the teenage
girls at the centre of this story of innocence lost, the pain of
too much freedom, and the struggle to find one's authentic self.
Told with a gimlet eye and great warmth, We Run the Tides is both a
gripping mystery and a tribute to the wonders of youth, in all its
beauty and confusion. 'We Run the Tides is hypnotic, knowing, and
propulsive as it examines girlhood, friendship, and the strong pull
of the past.' Meg Wolitzer
