A review by andintothetrees
The Tidal Zone by Sarah Moss

4.0

No-one nails what it's like to be a stay-at-home-parent like Sarah Moss has here and in Night Waking (it was great to see Anna and her family making a cameo appearance here!) and there were parts of this I could relate to hugely. It's also a great observation on British life in the 2010s, and of parental love and the complicated love of adult children for their parents. I really enjoyed reading this but it's 4 stars rather than 5 because I didn't enjoy the sections about the cathedral or Eli's past (not so much the content of the latter but the comparatively - and logically, in terms of the novel - distant way it was told) as much as the bits narrated by Adam. Sarah Moss is definitely one of my favourite authors and I can't wait to see what she produces next.
