The Tide Book: A year of small hours beside the sea

Edwin Marsh

You will spend a year in the small hours beside the sea, learning to notice what the tide leaves behind. Edwin Marsh guides you through the hour before the water turns, the weight of early waking, and how light slides across the surface of the water. You will remember what your body already knows about salt air, and you will learn to walk the wrack line with patience. Rowan Whitmore reads in a voice that feels like low light on wet sand, steady and unhurried, letting each sentence settle. The chapters move with the rhythm of a single gull turning against the sky, quiet enough to follow you into sleep or hold you company while the world is still dark. Let the tide find you where you are.
