The Tidal Zones is an in depth portrayal of illness and parenthood which is told through a lyrical prose that is utterly heartbreaking and moving.
I'm so glad this novel was chunkier than previous Moss titles I've read as I could have went on and on, depsite the sorrow of it. As always Moss writes flawlessly depicting a life of fear and dreams in a compulsive and remarkable narrative that at times escapes from reality.
Our narrator Adam is a stay at home dad, he's also working on the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral which develops a narrative of its own which I really enjoyed. His daughter Miriam collopases and stops breathing which throws him into a world of hospitals and the unknown. Moss' writing is unflinching, unbearably sad yet it holds onto hope.
I can once again highly reccomed this novel and despite this only being my 4th Moss novel, I've came to the conclusion that there won't be a Moss title I won't love. I haven't decided which one I'm going to read next but I can't wait!
