Can you ever return to the life you left behind? When a father and son struggle to overcome the distance between them, each is drawn irresistibly to an unforgiving landscape, one that has been the scene of tragedy and loss. The son's return to the northern shore he abandoned as a young man promises the chance to heal the rift. But is it too late? Arni left his remote corner of Iceland as soon as he could, seeking opportunities beyond winter and fishing. Married to an English woman, he built a life as a successful scientist but never escaped the pull of the West Fjords, the bleak landscape of his birth. When he learns his father is missing, Arni sets off to find him on a windswept spit of land lost in an angry ocean. Time's Tide is a compelling and beautifully written story of loss, belonging and the silence between fathers and sons.
