November 16, 2017 at 7:00pm: The Highest Tide


Jim Lynch’s The Highest Tide will be our topic of discussion on November 16th. “The fertile strangeness of marine tidal life becomes a subtly executed metaphor for the bewilderments of adolescence in this tender and authentic coming-of-age novel. As a precocious, undersized 13-year-old living on the shore of South Puget Sound, Miles O'Malley has developed a consuming passion for the abundant life of the tidal flats. This moving, unusual take on the summers of childhood conveys a contagious sense of wonder at the variety and mystery of the natural world.” – Publisher’s Weekly
