Críticas:

"Keeper of Tides is a remarkable novel that shines an important light on the challenges of dementia, the destructive power of childhood trauma and the healing effect of friendship.It also hits on an oft-forgotten truth: that within each mother, father, friend or enemy, there s a vibrant past that has made them who they are a history full of old loves, treasured friendships, regret and hope. - Sarah Sawler, The Chronicle Herald - 20140301"

"Themes of love and sexuality, loss and aging will generate lively book club discussions. Lyrical, moving and deeply touching, Beatrice MacNeil has created a character brimming with love and loss. - Ellen Pickle, Atlantic Books Today - 20140301"

Reseña del editor:

Time and time again, ninety-two-year-old Ivadoile Spears, the former keeper of the Tides Inn, returns to a cedar box containing photographs of everyone she's lost. As she edges towards dementia, she struggles to preserve these fading memories. And through her recollections, we're introduced to the idiosyncratic, dangerous, and inspiring cast of characters who peopled her inn, including the man who brought untamed passion into Iva's life-the man she sent away. In her highly anticipated follow-up to Where White Horses Gallop, a Globe and Mail Best Book, Beatrice MacNeil offers a stunningly elegant novel about the loves and losses that make us who we truly are, beneath the image we present to the world.
