About this listen

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

"Whats Love got to do with it"

The protagonist voice is strong but this is a relationship that could only flourish within the narrow confines of NW London or another metropolis where its possible to eat in a different restaurant everynight! But it is a great story well read and the heroine is someone you can't help feeling for while the man has a solipsistic quality which frustrates as he ploughs his way to greater heights lecturing and opining all the way. Motivations are revealed as the book progresses and all the while i wondered what would this story be if both characters were living in rural cornwall where there was a need to feed chickens and draw water from a well and the heating didn't work. I don't know if this is an autobiographical account but as a bloke even I could see he was a pre menopausal male with a narcissistic neurosis who needed to return to his wife. But thank you I realise that I am grateful for the small things in life like putting out bird food or walking to the shops.
