Krátky popis
Adam is a stay-at-home dad who is also working on a history of the
bombing and rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral. He is a good man and
he is happy. But one day, he receives a call from his daughter's
school to inform him that, for no apparent reason, fifteen-year-old
Miriam has collapsed and stopped breathing. In that moment, he is
plunged into a world of waiting, agonising, not knowing. The story
of his life and the lives of his family are rewritten and re-told
around this shocking central event, around a body that has
inexplicably failed. In this exceptionally courageous and
unflinching novel of contemporary life Sarah Moss goes where most
of us wouldn't dare to look, and the result is riveting -
unbearably sad, but also miraculously funny and ultimately hopeful.
The Tidal Zone explores parental love, overwhelming fear, illness
and recovery. It is about clever teenagers and the challenges of
marriage. It is about the NHS, academia, sex and gender in the
twenty-first century, the work-life juggle, and the politics of
packing lunches and loading dishwashers. It confirms Sarah Moss as
a unique voice in modern fiction and a writer of luminous
intelligence.
