Winner of the 2015 AATSEEL Book Award for Best Translation into EnglishA sharp realist."-Aleksandar HemonTold more or less in reverse chronological order, High Tide is the story of Ieva, her dead lover, her imprisoned husband, and the way their youthful decisions dramatically impacted the rest of their lives. Taking place over three decades, High Tide functions as a sort of psychological mystery, with the full scope of Ieva's personal situation-and the relationship between the three main characters-only becoming clear at the end of the novel. One of Latvia's most notable young writers, Abele is a fresh voice in European fiction-her prose is direct, evocative, and exceptionally beautiful. The combination of strikingly lush descriptive writing with the precision with which she depicts the minds of her characters elevates this novel from a simple story of a love triangle into a fascinating, philosophical, haunting book. Inga Abele is a novelist, poet, and playwright. Her novelHigh Tide received the 2008 Latvian Literature Award, and the 2009 Baltic Assembly Award in Literature. Her work has appeared in such anthologies asNew European Poets andBest European Fiction 2010.Kaija Straumanis is a graduate of the MA program in Literary Translation at the University of Rochester, and is the editorial director of Open Letter Books.
