Description
xEric Sumners has it all. One day, he decides to have a luxurious yacht built for his wife. Down on the waterfront, the grandiose project suddenly spawns wilde hope, but also jealousy, greed and hidden desires. Suspense, romance, and professional intrigue are soon engulfed as The Big Tide sweeps all before it with the promises and delusions of unfettered ambition, passion, art and love
. Acclaim for The Big Tide:"Heberden paints a portrait of American wants, values, and ideals in this contemporary literary novel. The point of view shifts from chapter to chapter, lending insight into each character as they move around each other in an intricate dance of wants, needs, and secrets. There is an exquisite balance of character study and conflict as the scenes intertwine. Readers will be richly rewarded with a complex and engrossing read about the building of a boat." -- Four Stars: Kirkus Reviews
"The building of a boat is the intriguing setting for the rich man, the drunk hunk, the sexy secretary, the grumpy vet, the sly coed, the goddess, and the wife. A serious house of cards that makes you hold your breath. The politics, business, and relationships are all too real and human. An excellent conclusion with an unlikely victor and skilled omission of the obvious. This writing is so rich that it's tempting to read aloud. The story has the unique quality recommending it to both men and women." -- bayberry
"Heberden's The Big Tide is a drama-filled adventure. Boat building's artistry is refreshing to read about in a fictional novel no other writer has done before. Heberden is a talented writer who can grab readers and keep them interested until the last page ... highly recommended" -- San Francisco Book Review
"The Big Tide by Marc Heberden is a book that keeps the reader enthralled - love, adventure, jealousy, political intrigue, and a conflict that is so masterfully developed that the reader can't wait to know what happens next .... the story is beautifully written and casts a powerful spell." -- Arya Fomonyuy for Readers' Favorite
