{"product_id":"9781532912092","title":"Rise of the Spring Tide","description":"Shikha lives a lonely life, but not quite solitary. Inside her, something slumbers, while her sister Faria, half a world away, can hear her thoughts and feel her emotions. As a vagabond geneticist who has bounced from institution to institution, she sits on the cusp of uncovering the mystery of her own DNA. Her sister has traversed the middle east and the Indian subcontinent collating local myths and researching ancient cultures. Their quest, spanning four hundred years, has led them on a trail that has both been intentionally obscured, yet seemingly left for them to discover. Clues and conclusions lead back to the actions of their shepherd Brigu, who in 1603 placed them with a Calvinist congregation traveling to the new world. From the 1600's to the present day, along with their fiery haired adoptive mother who is not what she seems, they begin to understand their collective purpose. \u003cp\u003eLoosely structured along the lines of a diary, date to date, Rise of the Spring Tide moves from past to present and back again. Starting with a brooding storm on Long Island, it traces the struggles of a fledgling colony in the New World, and builds towards its final crescendo in Northern India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030225469680,"sku":"9781532912092","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781532912092_p0.jpg?v=1763742095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781532912092","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
