About this listen

Time and Tide: a collection of tales, speaks of change—sometimes a long time coming, sometimes in an instant, but always inevitable. The first story, “Book of Hours,” creates the frame for the rest of the tales. Helen, an American writer living in Italy, believes her creativity is gone forever as she returns to her childhood home to care for her dying mother.

A curious encounter in a clock shop leads her to an experience in which she receives inspiration “like a swift, incoming tide, surreal, filled with beings of beauty and sadness, old regrets and new life—all muddled and intertwined as in a dream.”

Each subsequent story, with Helen as conduit, reminds us of the strange alchemy of human experience, distilled through each of the character’s longings, illusions and imagination— bringing forth golden revelations, not only for them, but for the reader as well.
