Excerpt from the Book:
On the long bus journey out, she doesn't cry or even have a single thought that she can name. She watches the dark impossibility of the road instead, the mostly empty seats ahead of her, the head of a woman a few rows up, listing forward and then jolting back. She does not sleep. She wants to be awake to make her declaration at the border. She will show her passport and when they ask, Where to? she will say without hesitation, The sea.
My Thoughts:
Novel Tides is a very good debut by Sara Freeman. It tells a story of a woman named Mara who is grieving the loss of her child. Without a plan or even much money, she flees from her hometown to the seaside town of Rome.
Tides is a beautiful novella written in a beautiful language that reads almost like poetry. It consists of short passages that melt into a story. This is not a book for the general reader. But those who like good written, reflective novels that read like someone’s stream-of-consciousness will probably like it.
The narrator was great. With a touch of melancholy in her voice, it suits the novel perfectly.
