About Lindsay Hill's Tidal Lock:

Seeking to unlock the mystery of her father’s disappearance years before, a mercurial young woman comes to believe that the barren city she inhabits is actually the underworld. Occupying the liminal spaces between reality, illusion, memory and mania, Olana recounts her allegorical journey from profound disorientation to absolute clarity. Told in 265 short, titled passages gathered into four parts, Lindsay Hill’s long awaited second novel offers the reader a challenging, provocative and rewarding narrative experience.
