Praise for Last Tide:

“With four emotionally complicated characters and a cunning setting, Last Tide‘s detailed story of gentrification and the power of money pales before the stunning power of nature.”
~ Camille-Yvette Welsch, Foreword Reviews

“Andy Zuliani’s writing is hyper-alive to landscape and culture of the West Coast. Dense, rich, evocative prose and imagery pull us into the narrative like an undertow. His debut novel submerges and tumbles us in a powerful wave of beauty and warning.”
~ Karen Hofmann, author of A Brief View from the Coastal Suite and Echolocations

“Set in a sinister world of corporate blurrers and digital scrubbers, this profound and powerful novel sneaks up on the reader, ebbing and flowing so quietly that no one within its reach is fully prepared for the deadly sharpness of real life.”
~ Rosie Chard, award-winning author of The Eavesdroppers and The Insistent Garden
“There is a telling phrase early in Andy Zuliani’s remarkable debut, Last Tide: ‘once the process gets going, it’s hard to stop.’ The multiple, layered, and entangled processes at the heart of this mesmerising story–personal grief and trauma, surveillance and data collection, real estate development and the looming presence of inevitable natural disaster–unfold, as the narrative does, with the precision of intricate clock-work. Like a calm coastal harbour, beneath the still surface of Zuliani’s prose the human heart thrums against the pressures formed by the collision of capital and geology. This is the writing we need–compassionate, clear eyed, undaunted–in an age gripped by apocalyptic fear.”
~ Stephen Collis, author of A History of the Theories of Rain

“Last Tide takes us on a fully satisfying, dystopic adventure with a motley crew of islanders. Unpredictable nature and expansionist industries compete in edgy plot lines that come together with Zuliani’s highly skilled cross weave of imagery, allegory, and philosophical thought. This novel is like the futuristic fashion designed by its entrepreneurial villain: it feels alive, current, even as it anticipates the next catastrophic wave.”
~ Thea Bowering, author of Love at Last Sight
