The Tide Turning

The Tide Turning is a character-driven study of differing generational values. It’s about a life event most of us face at some stage; the need to care for elderly relatives as they become unable to live alone. The work will appeal to fans of Donna Tartt and Colm Tóibín and also to reading groups. Hannah's work always prompts emotional debate about readers’ experiences both of caring for the aged and having the willingness to love and be loved.
