Slack-Tide

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Slack-Tide by Elanor Dymott, read by Lucy Briers. ‘By midsummer the thing between us was finished, and it was as if a storm had torn the roof from over me.’ It is four years since the loss of a child broke her marriage, and Elizabeth is fiercely protective of her independence. She meets Robert – exuberant, generous, apparently care-free – and they fall in love with breath-taking speed. Slack-tide tracks the ebbs and flows of the affair: passionate, coercive, intensely sexual. When you’ve known lasting love and lost it, what price will you pay to find it again? 'When two people meet is it need, fantasy or love? Slack-Tide takes us on an urgent journey and kept me reading late into the night.' Esther Freud (c) 2019, Elanor Dymott (P) 2019 Penguin Audio
