A review by blackcatlouise
The Tidal Zone by Sarah Moss
5.0
I am absolutely loving this author and I think this one is even better than "Night Waking" which I also loved; I think this might be my favourite book of the year so far.
I love the exploration of what it is to be a male parent at home and how that affects the family dynamics. I love the questions the author asks- What would happen when this family went on holiday? Would the wife feel jealous?
As a parent of teens I found the question about what would happen if your child just stopped breathing haunting me for days. What would I feel? What would I do with myself? How would it affect the way I treated them?
I love the characters especially the feisty Miriam and the hippy Grandpa, and I loved the stories about Coventry cathedral. What I loved the most of all was what the author had to say about the process of writing and the telling of stories that are not neat and linear but interweaving and tangential.
This is a wonderful wonderful book and i loved it!
