I enjoyed Livia Franchini’s debut, Shelf Life, enough to put up my hand for High Tide when I spotted it on NetGalley. Franchini’s second novel follows two timelines: one in the 1990s when Mary Godwin is thinking of dropping out of university, and one in the 2020s when the horror writer she’s become finds herself forced to remember her well-hidden past.
