Into the harsh world of an archipelago of islands set between the sea and the Bengali plains come two outsiders: Kanai, a business man and Piya, Indian born but American raised; he to discover the secrets of his uncle's past, she to study cetaceans. Although it is ostensibly their story, it was the haunting tide country, its legends and its people whose lives they disrupt, which engaged my imagination and kept the pages turning.
