Time and Tide is a 1992 novel by Irish novelist Edna O'Brien, published by Viking in the UK and by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux in the US. The novel depicts the hardship of Nell, an Irish beauty, during her challenging life in England. The New York Times described the plot as "disturbing", and focus heavily on the mourning created by Nell's misfortune. The novel is a series of vignettes, self-contained stories, which the New York Times describes as "linked stories" rather than a full novel. The last 60 pages were published in The New Yorker under the title of the "Wilderness". Source: Wikipedia (en)
