A newly reissued novel from the author of Girl, one of the most celebrated writers in the English language (NPR's Weekend Edition)

As her disturbing novel clearly reveals, Edna O'Brien possesses what Henry James called an imagination for
disaster...[Time and Tide] is an anthology of heightened moments...never less than brilliantly expressed. Joel Conarroe, The New York Times Book Review

She seeks comfort and acceptance, yet finds death, drugs, and an orgy of humil
