{"product_id":"tidal-waters","title":"Tidal Waters","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn epistolary, fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black community of Colombia's Pacific coast.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a long absence, Vel has come home to Chocó - to the Afro-Colombian community, to her family, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where she's establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781913867768\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charco Press","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £6.82","offer_id":47919155609777,"sku":"SB-1913867765-C2","price":6.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1913867765.jpg?v=1789701612","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/tidal-waters","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
