À propos de cet audio
A TIME Magazine Best Book of 2022
“I loved it.” —Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace
"Brilliant, elegant, and unsparing." —Emma Cline
"Irresistible... I read it in an afternoon but I'll be thinking about it for a long time." —Douglas Stuart, author of Young Mungo
From an astounding new voice in Canadian literature comes an intoxicating, compact novel about a woman who walks out of her life and washes up in a seaside town
After a sudden, devastating loss, Mara flees her family and ends up adrift in a wealthy seaside town with a dead cellphone and barely any money. Mired in her grief, Mara detaches from the outside world and spends her days of self-imposed exile scrounging for food and swimming in the night ocean. In her state of emotional extremis, the sea at the town's edge is rendered bleak, luminous, implacable.
As her money runs out and tourist season comes to a close, Mara finds a job at the local wine store. There, she meets Simon, the shop's soft-spoken, lonely owner. Confronted with the possibility of connection with Simon and the slow return of her desires and appetites, the reasons for her flight begin to emerge.
Reminiscent of works by Rachel Cusk, Jenny Offill, and Sheila Heti, Tides is a spare, visceral debut novel about the nature of selfhood, intimacy, and the private narratives that shape our lives. A shattering and unforgettable debut.

poor technical set up for a good book
there are no chapters. I went to go back 30 seconds or to a chapter start because I was distracted from listening and it started at the very beginning of the book. Good lord... if you get this book press stop any moment you get distracted or you feel your mind wander or what you missed or where you left off are forever taken away.
how frustrating, and I was enjoying g the book. not sure I want to try to listen from thr beginning all over though... nope.i don't.
