All is not well in Con's life; dementia has sent his imagination out of control, his city is confusing him, the music he loves tormenting him. What he does next brings turmoil for his family and a challenge for his wife Fiona's resolve.
All the while, ghosts keep appearing in the narrative: Con's lover, and Fiona's secret from her student years. In the end there's no escape from the past, and a tragic turn of events.
Talking to the Tide is a story about the ravages of a global disease, tests for love and religious faith, the enigma of memory, and the solace that art can bring.
