An Evening with Vendela Vida & Sarah Ladipo Manyika: We Run the Tides

Vida has crafted an achingly beautiful story of female friendship and betrayal, set in the changing landscape of San Francisco. Walking to school in their foggy oceanside neighborhood, teenagers Eulabee and Maria Fabiola witness a horrible act. Or did they? The girls can’t agree on what happened, and their rupture is followed by Maria Fabiola’s sudden disappearance, which rocks their quiet community and exposes unspoken truths. Suspenseful and poignant, Tides is a masterful portrait of a place on the brink of radical transformation, mirrored by the changing lives of the teenage girls at its center. Novelist and writer Ladipo Manyika moderates.
