Tide Running
$9.99
An enormously captivating and sensuous novel from one of Picador's most original writers.
Cliff and Ossie have grown up in Plymouth on the island of Tobago, their lives turning on the axis of small town life. Then a young couple arrive on the island. Bella, a Caribbean woman, and Peter an Englishman come to live on the hill overlooking the sea. And it is here, drawn by the cool 'film-style' house, that the harsh, bright, brittle life of urban Plymouth may be kept briefly at bay until relations become more complicated. Bella, Peter and Cliff embark on an intense, sexual relationship that leads to tension and guilt...
