Book Launch: Flood Tide by Ana Schnabl

166 Brick Lane, London E1 6RU
Set along the Adriatic coast, Flood Tide follows novelist Dunja Anko as she returns home, grappling with physical decline and a heavy dependence on marijuana, to unravel the mystery of her brother’s death. Elegantly plotted, darkly humorous, and self-reflexive, the novel offers a psychologically nuanced exploration of trauma shaped by human limitation and indecision.
