A review by pgchuis
The Tidal Zone by Sarah Moss
5.0
Adam and Emma's 15 year-old daughter, Miriam, collapses at school and then spends weeks in hospital having tests to try to determine why. This novel was excellent on the impact of Miriam's illness on her parents' marriage, and on her sister Rose. We are privy to Adam's thoughts on how life will never be the same and on how much of the world lives with a far more immediate awareness of death.
There are also chapters on the bombing of Coventry Cathedral during WWII and on its subsequent rebuilding after 1950, since Adam is writing the text for an audioguide to the cathedral. I found these surprisingly interesting. The chapters about Adam's father's life in the US were perhaps less compelling.
Overall very thought-provoking and real.
