Stations of the Tide

Stations of the Tide was a very interesting novel, though it takes a fair amount of effort on the reader’s part to appreciate it. I feel like I should read it again to catch all of the details that seemed superfluous, and to see more clearly how all of the events of the novel tie together. It was very difficult to get into, with an unreliable, unsympathetic narrator, abrupt, disorienting scene changes and very little in the way of explanation to the reader. The novel alludes to various notable works or religious ideas, and I enjoyed seeing how these were incorporated in the story. Between the references and the unresolved mysteries of the story, there’s plenty to keep one’s mind occupied. Despite its short length, I would definitely not call this a light read. It’s a book to pick up if you have time to read carefully and to work out the implications of each scene in reference to the rest.
