A poignant, funny and engrossing exploration of family life centred around a cataclysmic event and its aftermath, from the author of Night Waking and Signs for Lost Children.

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, 15-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 retold 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 21st 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.

Stays with you for a long time. Recommend for not just it’s ordinary almost mundane details but the intimacy it offers.

Stunning writing

I have recently come across Sarah Moss as an author and have since voraciously read all her works but I think this is the best. You wonder at the beginning how a single event will sustain the book but it becomes the lynch pin around which she spins and interweaves a marvellous texture of stories moving from the present to the past. But it is not a whimsical book, it looks at cold realities. Her characters are honest, perhaps not always likeable but understandable. I enjoyed the narrator too. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful and insightful

Beautifully read BUT where to start with Adam the main protagonist - stay at home dad through his own choice yet moans and moans. Then he also moans about the size of his house (small), position (estate), cost of everything yet simultaneously despises those where both parents work, earn money, do things differently, live in huge houses, have cats, don’t have cats, go on expensive holidays and so on and so forth. Spent my time listening to this and composing pithy, spiteful reviews but all I can really say is “you made your bed, lie on it”!!

Depressing, repetitive, dull and drove me mad!!

Parents could identify with this story. The anxiety provides the tension but the story is protracted and unremarkable, though beautifully read.
The fascination is in the description of everyday life by a stay at home father of two daughters while his wife is a working doctor.

The rise and ebb of anxiety.

I loved this. Beautifully narrated. Slice of life but tackling big themes of love and death, fear and how to live in spite of it.

Beautiful
