The Tides Between
By Elizabeth
Jane Corbett
She
fancied herself part of a timeless chain without beginning or end, linked only
by the silver strong words of its tellers.
In the year 1841, on the eve of her departure from London, Bride’s
mother demands she forget her dead father and prepare for a sensible, adult
life in Port Phillip. Desperate to save her childhood, fifteen-year-old Bridie
is determined to smuggle a notebook filled with her father’s fairytales to the
far side of the world.
When Rhys Bevan, a soft-voiced young storyteller and fellow traveller
realises Bridie is hiding something, a magical friendship is born. But Rhys has
his own secrets and the words written in Bridie’s notebook carry a dark double
meaning.
As they inch towards their destination, Rhys’s past returns to haunt
him. Bridie grapples with the implications of her dad’s final message. The pair
take refuge in fairytales, little expecting the trouble it will cause.
