TIDES

About the Book

Was there ever a pilgrimage like Megan’s? Fleeing from her parents’ fundamentalism, she despaired as she felt the Sea of her Faith ebbing away. As she journeys from New Zealand to South Korea and back again, she searches for contentment. In this captivating adventure tale, Megan Evans encounters characters of all sorts: barfl ies, bikies and a bishop, a priest, a paedophile and a psychiatrist, and many, many more, each of them with stories to tell, each of them contributing to Megan’s redemption. ‘Tides’ contains elements of literature, travel, humour, adventure and pathos and, when the tide fi nally comes fl ooding in, there is romance.
