Excellent- More about Quiet Tide
Ellen Hutchins, Irelands first female botanist, is reclaimed from the repression of her time by Marianne Lees debut novel, A Quiet Tide. It is a life examined, a heart-breaking, haunting story that captures the essence and humanity of a long forgotten Irishwoman.

Publisher: New Island Books
Unmarried, childless, and plagued by illness, Ellen Hutchins was deemed an "unsuccessful woman," confined to her family's once-grand and secluded estate, Ballylickey House in County Cork. However, against all odds, by the time of her passing in 1815, Ireland's pioneering female botanist, self-taught and driven to leave her mark, had meticulously documented over a thousand species of seaweed and plants from her beloved Bantry Bay. In Marianne Lee's remarkable debut novel, Ellen's profound and tortured inner world is liberated from the constraints of gender, class, and politics of her era, offering glimpses into the happiness and autonomy she struggled to articulate. As she delves into her work for meaning and expression, the eruption of a long-simmering family feud and the emergence of Ellen's own darkness—her "quiet tide"—pose a threat to her already fragile future.
A Quiet Tide is a profound exploration of life, a heart-wrenching and haunting narrative that finally captures the essence and humanity of a long-forgotten Irishwoman.
