The Tidal Zone by Sarah Moss
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Adam is a stay at home dad whose wife is a doctor and they have two daughters. He is an excellent father and homemaker, but he does do some teaching at the university so he does get out of the house and earns what he calls his pin money.
The story opens with his oldest daughter, Miriam, having some kind of allergic reaction and needing CPR and reviving. This incident is his undoing. She spends a couple of weeks in the hospital enduring tests and when she returns home, he becomes afraid to leave her alone and guards her faithfully.
This was a very human story, with little story sidelines. If you like being involved in the nitty gritty, day to day trials of a family, this book will blow you away.
