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 Choc 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 Choc 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.
