The Infinite Tides: A Novel
The premise of this book is a great one. Keith Corcoran
spent all his life working for his ambition of becoming astronaut and just as
he makes it, he loses his family. Keith is an astronaut and is physically in
space when he hears his teenage daughter has died in a car accident. Before he
can get home he learns his wife has decided to leave him. The story is that of
Keith arriving home to an empty house, no wife or child and very little
furniture.
The book is one of grief, and uncertainty. When he heard
about his daughter’s death he started getting really bad headaches, which
continued when he came back to earth. So through the book he is uncertain if he
can return to his job or not.
Keith becomes friends with two of his neighbors and the plot
involves his relationships with these people as well as memories from his past.
