{"product_id":"books-tidal-waters-by-velia-vidal","title":"Tidal Waters","description":"An epistolary, fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black community of Colombia’s Pacific coast.  After a long absence, Vel has come home to Chocó – to the Afro-Colombian community, to her family, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where she’s establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53508397957393,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781913867768.jpg?v=1778146084","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-tidal-waters-by-velia-vidal","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
