The Ormering Tide

by Kathryn Williams - £14.00  Wrecking Ball Press (2021)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781903110768 | ISBN 10: 1903110769

The Ormering Tide is a coming of age story set amidst a series of darkly foreboding events. Rozel lives with her triplet older brothers and her parents in the bay of a small island. One of her brothers goes missing and the family's landlord, Mr Willow, is implicated as the menacing truths are discovered. The island is rich with nature; and the islanders' lives and the steady passing of the seasons contrast sharply with the realities of violence and inevitable revelations. The Ormering Tide explores the inherent human need to keep – and bury – secrets.
 
Kathryn Williams' first novel, The Ormering Tide, is about processing the past, after the fact. This is a brooding and astonishing debut from the Mercury Music Prize nominated singer-songwriter.
 
The Ormering Tide shines as brightly as the beautiful shell from which this novel draws its title and is as impressive and adventurous as the author's music.
