Contemporary Fiction

A poignant, funny and engrossing exploration of family life, centred around a cataclysmic event and its aftermath; from the author of Summerwater and Ghost Wall. On a day like any other, Adam receives a call from his daughter's school. Miriam, his brilliant fifteen-year-old, has collapsed and stopped breathing; her heart has inexplicably stopped.

'The Tidal Zone may be something of a pioneer as a novel... A novel for our times... An intensely contemporary novel, with swingeing criticisms of this country today... An excellent read' - Guardian
